Enforcement of Child Support

Enforcement of Child Support

Texas Child Support Enforcement Lawyers

If a non-custodial parent is not paying court-ordered child support, the party receiving the payments has legal recourse available. For parents who find themselves in a situation where it is impossible to make court-ordered payments, speak with an attorney before you stop making payments to your ex-spouse or other parents of your child.

From our Frisco, Texas, law office, our family law attorneys provide skilled representation and counsel to clients needing assistance with matters such as divorce, custody and support, and modifications or enforcement of child support orders. Call or contact us for an initial consultation.

Penalties for Contempt of Court

The consequences for not fulfilling child support obligations can be long lasting and far reaching. If found to be in contempt of court orders, the non-custodial parent could be required to reimburse the custodial parent for all court costs and attorneys fees related to the petition for enforcement of child support. Further, penalties may include:

  • Incarceration
  • Suspension of driver’s license
  • Suspension of professional license
  • Garnishment of paycheck for support and arrearages
  • Garnishment of bank accounts

For alleged offenders, you must take swift action if you are charged with contempt of court. The attorneys at Megan B. Rachel, Attorney At Law not only represents parties seeking enforcement of child support, we also serve clients who have allegedly stopped payments ordered in divorce or paternity actions.

Alternatives to Contemplate

If you have lost your job or have a reduction in income, it is essential to be proactive before finding yourself in arrears. At Megan B. Rachel, you will find the help you need to file a modification of your support order, requesting the court to reduce child support payments.
