Texas Child Support

Getting Legal Help with Texas Child Support

When one parent or caregiver has custody of a child or children and the other parent is paying monetary compensation to assist in the expenses for the child. This financial assistance is essential for the well being of the child, and if it does not come, it can cause great hardship for the child and caregiver. It is a complicated and lengthy process to recover Texas Child Support payments that have not been made with several critical steps including legal filings and record keeping. The individual caregiver can recover support on his or her own, but a Family Law attorney will be faster and have a better success rate with their professional Texas Child Support services.

An experienced family law attorney will interview the client to determine what type of problems they are facing. Based on this, the attorney will know what actions to file in court and can advise the client on what to expect. There are several reasons a parent may stop payments. Inability to pay, as a protest to visitation agreements, lack of accountability for the money and a personal belief that the amount is unfair are a few common reasons given. If the parent who is supposed to pay feels that the amount is unfair or too high, it is his or her responsibility to file a formal claim with the court that awarded the Texas Child Support.
