Liberty, Mo. – In recognition of August as National Child Enforcement Awareness Month, Clay County Prosecuting Attorney Zachary Thompson has announced the launch of the county’s eighth “Warrant Amnesty Program.” This initiative helps non-custodial parents with outstanding child support warrants resolve their cases and deliver much-needed funds to custodial parents.
The Clay County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office has reached out to qualifying non-custodial parents, sending letters to inform them about the program and how they can get their warrants lifted. This proactive approach has led to the resolution of hundreds of cases in previous years, directing thousands of dollars into the hands of custodial parents.
The program benefits children by ensuring they receive the financial support they need and helps the community by freeing up law enforcement resources to address other pressing issues. “For the price of a few stamps, we can get children the support they deserve and allow law enforcement officers to focus on keeping our community safe,” said Thompson.
Qualifying non-custodial parents are encouraged to refer to the letters sent by the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office for detailed instructions on how to participate. For additional information, or if you have not received a letter but believe you qualify, please contact the Clay County Prosecutor’s Office at at communications@claycopa.com or call 816-736-8314.
