MOUNT VERNON – Knox County Department of Job and Family Services is continuing its recognition of the month of August being proclaimed Child Support Awareness month by recognizing the efforts and leadership of Juvenile Court Magistrate Christina Reiheld.
The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services Office of Child Support collects and distributes child support payments, but the program is administered locally by 88 county child support enforcement agencies (CSEAs). Each year, 680,000 Ohio children receive $1.7 billion in child support funds. The CSEAs also locate noncustodial parents, establish legal paternity, establish child and medical support orders, and enforce support orders.
“Magistrate Reiheld assists Child Support Services with establishing and collecting support for families,” said Knox County JFS Child Support Administrator Dareth Wilson. “We want to thank her and show our appreciation for her continued support.”
