Algonac Man Arraigned for Allegedly Not Paying Child Support, Owing More Than $30K
Mount Clemens, MI -Adam Walsh, age 38, has been arraigned for failing to pay child support on his two children.
On Friday, October 26, 2007, Adam Walsh was ordered by Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Tracey Yokich to pay $407.00 per month in child support for his minor child. After many modifications he was ordered to pay $186.00 per month. He allegedly owes more than $10,000 in back child support for this minor child. Walsh has had 12 show cause hearings and five bench warrants issued in this case.
On Monday, October 21, 2013, Adam Walsh was ordered by Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Tracey Yokich to pay $418.00 per month in child support for another minor child. It was later modified to $358.00 per month. He allegedly owes more than $20,000 in back child support for this minor child. Walsh has had six show cause hearings and one bench warrant issued in this case.
The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office has charged Walsh with two counts of Failing to Pay Child Support, a four year felony, after the Macomb County Friend of the Court exhausted their efforts to enforce the court order of paying child support.
Adam Walsh was arraigned on Friday, August 16, 2024 in 41B Clinton Township District Court by Magistrate Ryan Zemke who set bond at $2,656.00 for the first case and $5,164.00 for the second case. A Probable Cause Hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, August 27, 2024 at 8:30 am by District Court Judge Sebastian Lucido.
“Failing to support your children is not just a breach of duty, it's a violation of trust and responsibility. This man’s refusal to provide for his children, to two mothers, not only places an unfair burden on those trying to care for them but also shows a blatant disregard for the well-being of his own family. Our office will pursue justice for these children and hold him accountable under the law," said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido.
The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office represents the People. We are committed to achieving justice and following the laws of the State of Michigan. All that are accused of a crime are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
