Roanoke, TX asked in Family Law and Child Support for Texas

Q: I have only been getting $500 a month for 3 kids since 2010.

My boys are both over 18 now so my ex only sends $400 a month now. We have not been back to court to amend anything. He recently quit his job and moved to Colorado with his his girlfriend. Now that he is out of a job I have gotten one late payment and no payment this month so far. What do I do?

A: Contact the attorney general for assistance.

There are very specific rules regarding child support enforcement for children over 18 so you need to contact attorney general as soon as possible to preserver your rights or retain an attorney.
