Non-custodial parents who are delinquent in child support are invited to the Georgetown County Judicial Center next month to negotiate options to get caught up. Georgetown County will host Family Court Amnesty Day on Wednesday, June 5, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Those interested in taking advantage of this opportunity should report to the second floor of the Judicial Center, located at 401 Cleland St., Georgetown.
Amnesty Day allows delinquent child support payers an opportunity to negotiate past due payments with representative from the S.C. Department of Social Services, without fear or risk of arrest on outstanding Family Court bench warrants. (Outstanding general sessions bench warrants are not included.)
Recipients of child support are also invited to participate in Amnesty Day negotiations. Only parties involved in cases should attend. The goal is to facilitate child support payments in the best interest of the children who are in need of support. This process is not designed to relieve anyone of child support payments, but to help get non-custodial parents back on track with making support payments.
