Child Support Advocate/Author/Speaker to Give Local Workshops on Enforcing Collections While Repairing Families
Angel Eyes Publishing is hosting child support workshops starting June through August to bring awareness to Child Support Awareness Month, which is August.
Smyrna, GA, May 21, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Despite facing more stringent laws and penalties for noncustodial parents found avoiding child support payments, the issue is becoming more critical, as more parents purposefully avoid making payments, leaving more than $100 billion owed in uncollected child support payments throughout the nation. This situation is negatively impacting millions of families and communities across the country and the federal, state and local government is determinedly seeking ways to put an end to the irresponsibility and familial chaos resulting from this.
“Legislators are paying closer attention to this issue than ever before and one way to assist with this, is by sharing crucial information about the intricacies of fairly maneuvering through the whole process for both noncustodial and custodial parents, but keeping the welfare of the children the critical concern. That’s what my book does,” says Dawnette Lounds-Culp, a child support advocate and expert, and single mother who spent years researching and documenting information for the child support manual she authored and released last year, called, “The Face of Child Support.” (Angel Eyes Publishing).
Lounds-Culp, will conduct child support workshops in June, July and August in Smyrna, GA, Atlanta, GA. and Decatur, GA The June workshop will be held Wednesday, June 17 at the Smyrna Community Center from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM located at 200 Village Green Circle, Smyrna, GA 30080.
The workshops will cover major topics including the “Four Key Steps to Managing the Child Support Process”, “Addressing Emotional Aspects of Child Support” and the “Need to Rebuild Friendship Between Parents for Children’s Sake.” Participants attending any workshop starting in June to the end of August will have the chance of winning $10,000 by purchasing a raffle ticket for $25. This is Angel Eyes Publishing stimulus plan for a deserving family.
“Many parents both custodial and noncustodial-- are emotionally affected by the issue of child support,” said Lounds-Culp. “Noncustodial parents are resentful that they are being ordered to pay support by the court system and custodial parents are bitter because the noncustodial parent will not pay—this causes deep division between the parents, which unfortunately negatively impacts the children’s social and even mental development.”
According to Lounds-Culp’s extensive research, there are over 16 million families of all cultures in the United States who rely on the child support system and she estimates that there are just as many families, if not more, who have not applied for child support.
“This is critical because if the parents don’t apply for child support and have documented record of doing so, they deny the opportunity to possibly collect in the future, which many parents can still do and don’t realize it” said Lounds-Culp. “I am hoping that the information shared in my book, will help to lessen the pain experienced in families, drastically decrease the numbers of non-supportive parents trying to avoid the system and relieve familial dependence on the government for assistance.”
In addition to the book, Lounds-Culp has also developed a weekly national tele-coaching program also called “The Face of Child Support” that provides one-on-one counseling and up-to-date information about the child support process. Child support experts, psychologists and advocates are invited to participate and parents going through the process are encouraged to call-in with any questions.
“There are a number of personal testimonies shared in “The Face of Child Support,” book from both men and women, custodial and noncustodial parents, in addition to an account of my own experience with the issue,” said Lounds-Culp. “My ultimate goal in compiling this information, however, is to protect the children, help everyone to productively move on with their lives and to not portray either parent in a negative light.”

“The Face of Child Support” ($16.95) is available at Barnes & Nobles and Borders bookstores or you can buy it on-line at www.angeleyespublishingco.com.
