After a recent case in which fugitive deadbeat David Earley lived under the radar of law enforcement in New Port Richey for a year and a half, the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office has created a searchable database to bring these deadbeat fugitives to justice.

Early has fallen behind on his child support to the tune of $385,000. Florida law makes it a Third Degree Felony to have more than $5,000 in back-due child support AND to avoid making payments despite the present “ability to pay.”
The Blake & Dorsten, P.A. In Clearwater has handled numerous cases involving back-pay for Child Support. Most often, we see this issue arise once a client fails to pay his/her child support and the State of Florida suspends that person’s driver’s license in the State of Florida. Many times, the client doesn’t even know that his/her driver’s license has been suspended.
When dealing with this type of matter, experience counts.
