We received information from a custodial parent about an awful situation going on in her case with the Arkansas Office of Child Support Enforcement.
DIWANYA GILBERT |
The Office of Child Support Enforcement had a policy in effect that clearly states that employees cannot access or be involved in cases in which involves a family member or relative.
Diwanya's brother, Anthony "Tony" Gilbert, had court ordered child support payments that were to be made to the Office of Child Support Enforcement.
ANTHONY C. GILBERT |
Tony, did not want to pay the support for his children and fell behind a little. He owed $12, 577.90 back in March 2013 as indicated by this court order.
Tony had been ordered to pay just $45.00 per week by the court back in September 2012 and had a history of being in contempt for non-payment since his divorce in 1997.
Tony is a barber and has been for several years based on posting on his facebook page.

In 2012, the OCSE assigned Brooke Diane Cummings as the attorney. She was the assigned attorney until she left OCSE to go to work as a Revocation Hearing Judge for the Parole Board in April 2016.
Brooke is a colorful character. Brooke liked to play kickball and hang out at Midtown Billiards. Brooke also went to Haiti on a mission trip in 2014. In 2015 Brooke became an unmarried single parent.
Brooke had a run in with the law as a teenager and was placed in 6 months probation.
At this point we must make a disclosure, Ms. Cummings was the OCSE attorney on the case of the publisher of this blog as well. She did not to want be blogged about and in a telephone call to the publisher tearfully asked him not to do so.
Maybe it was a wild hair that made Brooke have fellow OCSE co-worker and the sister of the non-custodial parent accompany her to a court hearing and consult with her about the case.
Whatever the reason it was pure shenanigans and OCSE refuses to comment.
