Q: Should I respond to the letter I received from the Attorney General of Texas, Child support division?
I am the “custodial parent” I got a letter from the Attorney General of Texas Child Supports Division. It says “Re: Notice of Review”. It explains that I have the right to request a review my child support order every three years. Then goes on to say “We will be reviewing your child support order to determine if the amount of child support complies with the Texas child support guidelines. The review will also determine if the order contains provisions regarding the health care needs of the child(ren).
The review will take place no sooner than 30 days from the date of this notice. We will notify you by mail of our review finding.
If you have not already done so, please complete the Child Support Review Questionnaire and return it with all the required information as soon as possible.” Does this mean the NCP requested a review? Should I fill out the questionnaire? What happens if I don’t respond?
A: There is no need to respond to this letter; however, if you are looking to make a change to your current support order then it would be wise to send back the questionnaire, as this can help with the review process.
