Garland, TX asked in Criminal Law, Family Law, Child Support and Municipal Law for Texas

Q: I have a judge ordered CS payment due for 1/2019. Have 2 pay in full or can I split up pay as long as it's by 1/31/19?

I have a criminal case pending. Planed on turning myself in to fix issue but worried if I haven't made full required payment the judge requested. Criminal case and civil unrelated but I can still be held for back support unless I submit payment my order just says Jan 2019 I only have partial payment but must turn myself in before rest can be paid I will be able to make full payment by the 31st I'm just unsure how this all works or what rules are. Please help if you can.

A: Look at your order for the due date. Follow that. It should state the exact date that it is due. To be on the safe side pay be that date.
