Clinton Township Man Sentenced in Child Support Case
Mount Clemens, MI - A 41-year-old Clinton Township man was sentenced yesterday in connection with a 2011 child support case in which he owed over $14,000.
On Monday, August 8, 2011 Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Mark Switalski ordered Kevin Traylor to pay child support on one minor child. As of June 2023, Traylor owed $14,114.36 in back child support.
The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office charged Kevin Traylor with Failing to Pay Child Support, a four year felony. On Thursday, June 13, 2024, Traylor pled guilty to Failing to Pay Child Support. Yesterday, Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Matthew Switalski issued a delayed sentence for Traylor to pay the remainder of the child support owed in the next 11 months. If Traylor pays the full amount owed, the Failing to Pay Child Support charge will be dismissed and a charge of Disorderly Person, a 90-day misdemeanor will be filed.
“Ensuring the welfare of our children is a top priority, and we will vigorously pursue those who neglect their financial responsibilities. This sentence serves as a clear message: the prosecutor's office will hold accountable any parent who owes back child support. No one is above the law when it comes to supporting their children,” said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido.
If you are owed back child support, would like to start a child support case, or want to get back on track with your child support join Prosecutor Lucido and Family Division Unit Chief Kymberly Shinneman for a Child Support Telephone Town Hall meeting on Thursday, June 20, 2024, at 7:00 PM.
