Officials in roughly half of the state’s 88 counties participated in the effort. It was Ohio’s 10th annual roundup. The Department of Job and Family Services provide local law enforcement agencies the names of the parents.
The Child Support Enforcement agency, a division of Job and Family Services, suspends driver’s licenses, freezes bank accounts, seizes tax refunds, publishes a “Most Wanted” poster and uses other methods to force parents to pay back child support.
Across Ohio, nearly $2 billion in child support was collected in 1 million child support cases during the past year. Authorities collected $11,000 immediately after the 82 arrests.
