The Texas OAG is required by law to report child support to the credit bureaus. If they made a mistake, you can file a dispute with the credit bureau to have the mistake corrected, just like with any other creditor. I note that child support is almost always due on the first day of each month.... View More

If you were to file for divorce, you could ask for temporary spousal support to help pay bills similar to what is going on now.

Does holiday vacation override weekend visitation for summer?
Is NCP entitled to weekend visitations?
