CHILD SUPPPORT BENCH WARRANT AMNESTY

Who: Parents who have outstanding civil warrants on child support in St. Clair County.
What: Amnesty will be granted upon payment of $500 on child support warrants issued in St. Clair County.
When: November 24 – December 12, 2025
Where: Payments are to be made in person or by phone between hours of 8:00 am – 4:15 pm at St. Clair County Friend of Court located at 201 McMorran Blvd., Room 1600, Port Huron, MI.
Why: Parents with child support bench warrants may not seek help on their case due to the warrant. This amnesty program offers a break to those who are serious about addressing their child support arrearages and want to get back on track with meeting their obligations. It will ensure an arrest free zone and afford parents an opportunity to openly discuss their child support obligations with staff.
Anyone seeking to have their civil bench warrant resolved for nonpayment of child support may appear or call the Friend of Court and make a payment of $500 to have their outstanding warrant recalled. This is a chance for the mothers and fathers who pay child support to make a new start.
Parents can discuss their case, set up a payment plan, learn about other programs and see if their case is eligible for a child support review.
Criminal child support warrants issued by the Attorney General’s Office are not eligible.
Contact: Any questions on this amnesty program may be directed to 810-985-2285.
