DOYLESTOWN, PA (AP) Officials in Bucks County are intensifying efforts
to collect back child support payments.

The county has issued about 16-hundred warrants for parents who failed
to show up for meetings or court hearings. Collectively, they owe an
estimated 15 (m) million dollars in child support.

The county's domestic relations office collected 78 (m) million
dollars last year in support payments for more than 38-thousand
children, but officials say much more was owed.

Since April, two county deputies have been assigned to tracking down
offending parents. The county has cleared about 230 warrants in the
past three months, up nearly 60 percent over the same period last year.
