Houston, TX asked in Child Support for Texas

Q: Who does one contact? Child support is not being received after paid by non-custodial parent.

I am the custodial parent. My children's father gets disability. Child support is taken from his check. Well I stopped receiving it back in November. I've contacted the OAG who stated they have not received anything from him. I confronted him, at which he showed me the garnishment online for child support. I again contact the OAG who showed me a print out of what they have received and it shows the last time they received a payment from him was in November of last year.

A: If he's receiving disability then he should find out if disability is turning it over to the OAG office or holding it. It's his responsibility to make sure you get it.
