LAUDERDALE COUNTY-Beginning June 7th 2021, the Lauderdale County District Attorney’s Child Support Unit will launch its “Pay Up by Father’s Day” Campaign.
The campaign is an effort to allow those who have been ordered to pay child support and who currently have outstanding warrants an opportunity to avoid arrest by making arrangements with the Child Support Unit Staff at the District Attorney’s Office to pay the court ordered monies.

According to District Attorney Chris Connolly:
“Over the past year, the number of bench warrants issued for failure to pay court ordered child support have grown substantially. We have about 120 outstanding warrants which account for approximately 3 million dollars in un-paid child support and accrued interest. We want to work with those ordered to pay so that they can avoid being arrested.
Between June 7th and June 18th, any person with an outstanding child support bench warrant may come to our office on the 2nd Floor of the Lauderdale County Courthouse during business hours (8 am to 5 pm) to make arrangements to pay the court ordered monies without being arrested.
After this grace period expires, we will round up those with warrants and arrest them.
This is an opportunity for people to avoid arrest. If they take advantage of this opportunity by Father’s Day, they can be free on July 4th—Independence Day.”
