Child Support
Many of our Marion County children suffer despair and deprivation due to negligent non-custodial parents' failure to pay their child support. Due to the high rate of divorce and growing numbers of children born out of wedlock, child support issues directly and indirectly affect more families than probably any other issue handled by the Prosecutor's Office.
The Marion County Prosecutor's Office is responsible for requiring non-custodial parents to pay what they owe for the well being of their own children. Prosecutor Brizzi embraces this duty through tough civil and criminal enforcement and prosecution of parents who ignore their personal responsibility to provide for their children's welfare.
It is Prosecutor Brizzi's goal to make sure every child receives his or her support payments and that custodial parents are not further victimized by inadequate customer assistance. His message is this: every child should receive his or her support payments and custodial parents should be treated with the highest measure of respect and assistance possible.
