Child Support Amnesty Day

Wyandotte County citizens with unpaid child support, missed court dates or other child support problems can get a fresh start at the Child Support Amnesty and Resource Fair.

The event will be held Friday, August 20, at the Village West Holiday Inn Express at I-435 and Parallel Parkway. The Amnesty Fair will run from 12 noon to 5pm.

Citizens attending the Amnesty and Resource Fair will have the opportunity to straighten out problems with the Child Support court, including making back payments, arranging new court dates and getting bench warrants lifted.

The event is also a resource fair for both payers and recipients of child support.  The “Workforce One” mobile unit will be on hand assisting with online job searches and job opportunities. Representatives from local training programs and community colleges will also be there to help participants connect with jobs and job training. Information will also be available for participants to learn how to remove barriers to employment, such as old criminal convictions, and records of arrest. 

Participating agencies include:  Kansas Department of SRS Child Support Enforcement; District Court Trustee for Wyandotte County; Leavenworth County Attorney’s Office; Workforce Partnership Mobile One; Kansas City Kansas Community College Technical Education Center and Military Recruiters
