Child support collections in Mercer and Auglaize counties have long outpaced both national and state collections, meaning more money is reaching the children who need it, officials said.
Ohio recently joined a "select group" of states that collect at least 70% of current child support owed, which is well above the national average of 65.8%, according to an Ohio Department of Job and Family Services news release. [More]
