Michigan Man Arraigned for Owing More Than $13K in Child Support
Mount Clemens, MI - Randall Auchmuty, age 48, was arraigned in Clinton Township 41B District Court for failing to pay his child support on his two minor children.
On December 6, 2019, Randall Auchmuty of Kimball, MI was ordered by Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Matthew Switalski to pay $455.00 a month in child support for his two children. Auchmuty has had three Show Cause Hearings and one bench warrant issued for allegedly not paying his child support. He allegedly owes over $13,000 in back child support. The Macomb County Friend of the Court exhausted their efforts to enforce the court order of paying child support. The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office has charged Auchmuty with Failing to Pay Child Support, a four year felony.
Auchmuty was arraigned on Monday, July 8, 2024 by Clinton Township 41B District Court Magistrate Ryan Zemke where bond was set at $3,341.00 which is 25% of the arrears owed. A Probable Cause Hearing is scheduled for Monday, July 15, 2024 by Clinton Township 41B District Court Judge Sebastian Lucido.
“By neglecting his duty to support his children, he is not only breaking the law but also betraying the trust and responsibility that comes with parenthood. This failure is an injustice to his children, who deserve better," 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.
