Warren Man Arraigned for Allegedly Not Paying Child Support, Owing More Than $11K
Mount Clemens, MI - Davon Edwards, age 33, has been arraigned for failing to pay child support on his minor child.
On Monday, June 14, 2021, Davon Edwards was ordered by Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Tracey Yokich to pay $428.00 per month in child support for his minor child. He allegedly owes $11,376.50 in back child support for his child. Edwards has had one show cause hearing and two bench warrants issued in this case.
The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office has charged Davon Edwards with 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.
Davon Edwards was arraigned on Monday, September 9, 2024 in 41B Clinton Township District Court by Magistrate Ryan Zemke where set bond at $2,844.00. A Probable Cause Hearing is scheduled for Monday, September 16, 2024 at 8:30 am by District Court Judge Sebastian Lucido.
“It is our responsibility to ensure that parents fulfill their legal obligations to their children. This individual has gone over two years without making any effort to support his child, which is unacceptable. The legal system is here to protect the well-being of the child, and we will pursue justice to ensure that this child's needs are met. No parent should be allowed to neglect their responsibilities without consequences," said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido.
The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office Family Division investigates and prosecutes felony nonsupport cases which are cases where the noncustodial parent owes more than $5,000 in child support. In order for your case to qualify for review: there must be an arrearage of $5,000 or more, failure to pay for three consecutive months, the noncustodial parent has the ability to pay the court ordered child support amount and lives in Michigan. The goal of this prosecution is to help ensure that the children are financially supported by both parents and to ensure that justice is served according to the law. To start a child support case please call the Office of Child Support at (866) 540-0008 or if you are owed more than $5,000 in child support call our office (586) 493-4488.
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.
