Butler Co. deadbeat dads owe more than $215K

Butler County is looking for deadbeat parents and they need your help finding them. 

The Butler County Child Support Enforcement Agency (CSEA) issued "wanted" posters Monday with pictures of the top 11 deadbeat dads in the county who owe thousands in back child support.

“The wanted poster is an opportunity for us to highlight several individuals who are neglecting their parental responsibilities,” said Butler County CSEA Executive Director Raymond Pater. “Over the years, the poster has been a great tool at not only tracking down and arresting offenders, but also bringing the importance of child support to the forefront."

The 11 men on the poster owe a total of $215,000 in overdue child support payments. Investigators say the biggest violator is John Vance. He is $56,000 behind in payments.

The agency has located 167 featured parents since it published its first wanted poster in 1995.

Individuals must meet the following criteria before the CSEA will place them on a wanted poster:

• Must be subject to a support order.
• Must be an attempt to enforce the order through a court-ordered procedure.
• CSEA must not know or be able to verify the parent’s residence.
• The parent must not be a known welfare recipient.
• CSEA must not have evidence that the parent has filed bankruptcy.
• The residential parent (person who receives child support) must give written authorization to include the other party on the poster.
• A legal representative of the CSEA must review the case and the CSEA must be able to obtain a description and/or photograph of the parent.
