Ala. sets new record for child support collections

[MonteSano]

The state collected more than $281 million in child support payments for the 2006 fiscal year, setting a new record for collections, state officials said.

The new record surpassed collections for the 2005 fiscal year by almost $10 million, Page Walley, state Department of Human Resources commissioner, said in a statement.

He credited the new record to department employees at the county level working with others in the community.

“District attorneys, judges, other court officials and private attorneys under contract to handle child support cases all work with county DHR staff to collect support on behalf of dependent children,” Walley said.
