Pitt County parents who are behind on child support will have a chance later this month to make plans to get caught up without worrying about being arrested.

Pitt County parents who are behind on child support will have a chance later this month to make plans to get caught up without worrying about being arrested.

The county Department of Social Services said parents who have an active order for arrest in a Pitt County child support case can appear at the child support offices in Greenville July 25-27 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Officials said there will be child support agents available to discuss cases, no one will be arrested, and orders for arrest will be recalled for parents who make one month’s child support payment or $200, whichever is higher.

The last Child Support Amnesty Day was held in Pitt County in 2017.

Annette is originally a Midwest gal, born and raised in Michigan, but with career stops in many surrounding states, the Pacific Northwest, and various parts of the southeast. She has been involved in the media industry in eastern North Carolina for more than three years. An award-winning journalist and mother of four, Annette moved to ENC to be closer to family – in particular, her two young grandchildren. It’s possible that a -27 day with a -68 windchill in Minnesota may have also played a role in that decision. In her spare time, Annette does a lot of toddler and baby cuddling, reading, designing costumes for children’s theater and producing the coolest Halloween costumes anyone has ever seen. She has also worked as a diversity and inclusion facilitator serving school districts and large corporations. It’s the people that make this beautiful area special, and she wants to share those stories that touch the hearts of others.
