News, the Associated
Press, NJ.Com
/ Star Ledger and several news outlets across the country. The rollout of the Mobile Assistance Center,
which is also called the MAC, started in Newark, New Jersey on Monday and
Tuesday of last week. Several custodial
parents needing to locate the non-custodial parents of their children
subscribed to the Collection
Program and Filing
Program, while several non-custodial parents needing reduced child support
orders, and court orders to discharge enforcement actions subscribed to the Amnesty Program. One non-custodial parent was crying while
leaving the Essex County Family Court, received a free legal consultation, and
eventually enrolled to receive legal services for his next court appearance. While in at the Union County Family Court in
Elizabeth, New Jersey, a custodial parent tracked down the MAC, after going to
New York City because an old schedule was published by some news publications. She went online to access the MAC’s schedule, and drove to
Elizabeth, NJ form New York City. She immediately
enrolled to receive investigative, legal and collections assistance to collect
unpaid child support arrears her child has been owed for years.
The visit to the Paterson, New Jersey was more
than a homecoming to Project Child Support’s CEO and Founder, Kai Patterson. While at the Passaic County Family Court, an
82-year-old great grandmother walked up to the MAC seeking assistance to
receive child support for her great grandson.
The 82-year-old woman had been handed an inch thick set of documents to
complete by the Passaic County Child Support Office, and was told that her
chances of receiving a child support order were not good, because she did not
have an updated address of the non-custodial parent, which was her
grandson. Another parent at the Passaic
County Child Support Office recommended that she go downstairs to the Project
Child Support MAC to receive assistance and investigative services, which was
located in front of the building. Unable
to read the fine print in child support documents, she was assisted by Project
Child Support’s staff and the attorney of the Custodial Support Law office, who
was located on the MAC. “When the
82-year-old woman walked up to the MAC, I immediately recognized her, and asked
her if she knew my late grandmother. It
turned out; she was my grandmother’s friend from the Grand Street Projects,
where I lived until I was 3-years-old, and where I visited as a child on
weekends, as well as each summer. I
immediately had our attorney Kyle Chan assist her in completing the child
support documents, which took more than 2 hours to complete. I also gave her our Filing Assistance
Investigative Program at no cost, because she was unemployed, on public
assistance and needed the child support order to receive additional assistance. It’s cases like this that make you realize
the value of the services you are providing to not just parents, and
grandparents, but now a great grand parent” said Kai Patterson.
