Project Child Support's Mobiel Assistance Unit Receives Overwhelming Support

On August 25, 2014, Project Child Support launch the Nation’s first child support mobile assistance center, after hosting a highly successful ribbon cutting ceremony that was attended by elected officials.  During the first month of operation, over 400 parents visited the Mobile Assistance Center (MAC) to receive information, consultations or services.  Custodial parents owed as little $1,500 to as much as $287,000, and non-custodial parents with suspended driver’s licenses, or active arrest warrants came out to resolve their child support issues. 

Many parents visited the MAC requesting an attorney to help them understand their legal documents and options to collect their child support arrears.  Some non-custodial parents who came to the MAC were unaware of how much they owed in unpaid child support, and were afraid to obtain their records, because they were concerned an arrest warrant may have been issued against them.

In addition to more than 400 parents receiving information or services at our MAC, more than 200 calls were placed into the Project Child Support 24-Hour Call Centers from parents seeking collection, investigative and amnesty services.  To service these parents, Project Child Support is increasing its staff to support the public demand.  To further assist parents, Project Child Support has modified its services to have attorneys walk into family courts to retrieve parents’ records.  This service will assist non-custodial parents who fear they have arrest warrants, and are too afraid to take the necessary steps to resolve their arrears.

Project Child Support will be deploying its MAC within two weeks with the new services that are now available for parents who use the 24-hour call center.  The MAC schedule will be available on the Project Child Support Website.  Project Child Support will also begin hosting workshops throughout metropolitan area.  The workshops will be separated into custodial parent and non-custodial parent programs that will be hosted by attorneys, investigators and service representatives.  The first workshop is being coordinated to be hosted in November 2014 with community organizations. 

Project Child Support was created by Kai Patterson in honor of his mother, who was unable to collect child support from Mr. Patterson’s father, which provides affordable and free services to parents (See: Patterson’s Story).  The program provides a 24-hour call center to enable custodial and non-custodial parents to schedule consultations and receive assistance by calling 855-851-HELP (4357).

More Than 100 Parents Seek Assistance In Newark, Elizabeth, Paterson, Hackensack, Jersey City and Project Child Support’s 24-Hour Call Center

Immediate Release:  Project Child Support’s First 5 New Jersey Cities Are A Success

After its Ribbon Cutting Launch, Project Child Support’s Mobile Assistance Center hits the streets and begin helping parents, with the support of My9, Fios 1 News, WMBC-TV 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.         

This week, the MAC will also be visiting Somerset, Newark and New Brunswick, New Jersey.  In future weeks, the MAC will be going into New York City, Brooklyn and Westchester County.  Parents may also contact Project Child Support’s 24-Hour Call Center to receive assistance.

Project Child Support Contracted To Collect Unpaid Child Support From FOX Sports Analyst And Former Major League Baseball Player Owing Unpaid Child Support To A Woman He Fathered A Child With While Married and Living A Double Life: Arrest Warrant Issued in 2012

Breaking News:  FOX Reporter, and Former MLB Relief Pitcher Duaner Sánchez Owes Child Support to Former Beauty Queen that Meet Felony Child Support Evasion Laws

Project Child Support has been contracted to provide services to seize and liquidate the assets of FOX Sports Reporter and Former MLB Player Duaner Sánchez to collect more than $33,877.46 that includes $21,877.46 in unpaid child support arrears (See: Arrears), and $12,000 in court awarded legal fees, not including interest (See: 2013 Judgment). Tania Lima, crowned Miss Cuban American in 1996, is the mother of Mr. Sánchez’s special needs daughter, who Mr. Sánchez refuses to support.  Ms. Lima claims that she learned her child’s father was married, when she revealed she was pregnant.  Ms. Lima’s child was born in between the birth of Mr. Sánchez’s second and third child with his current wife.  In 2012, an arrest warrant was issued against Mr. Sánchez in the State of Florida for failing to pay child support to Ms. Lima (See: Arrest Warrant), and in 2013 his driver’s license was suspended for the nonpayment of support (See: Suspension).

In October of 2013, Project Child Support similarly reported the arrears of Steven A. Jordan, A.K.A. Stevie J, Star of Love and Hip Hop Atlanta, whose arrest warrant mysteriously disappeared although Mr. Jordan did not make a payment.  In April of 2014, Federal Authorities arrested Stevie J, and now Project Child Support has set their sights on Mr. Sánchez.

Since Mr. Sánchez does not reside in the State of Florida, owes more than $10,000 in unpaid child support and has not made a payment in over a year, his case qualifies as a Federal Child Support Evasion action under the guidelines of the Office of Inspector General  See: Child Support Felony Guidelines & OIG Video).  “When Ms. Lima acquired our services,  Mr. Sánchez was temporarily residing in Mexico, although he owns a home in California with his wife.  Mr. Sánchez was a relief pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks, Pittsburgh Pirates, Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Mets, and San Diego Padres.  Although he made more than $4 million while playing professional baseball, his child support obligation was only set at $409.34 per month, which is a mystery within itself,” says Kai Patterson who is the founder of Project Child Support.

Project Child Support is an initiative of Bounty Alert, Inc., which was spearheaded by Kai D. Patterson to assist parents in the collection and payment of unpaid child support.  Mr. Patterson started the initiative in honor of his late mother, who was never able to collect child support from Mr. Patterson’s father.
