I plan on divorcing just saving up.

You are not legally required to send the child's father pictures of the child.
Payments are pretty regular but only half as much as they are supposed to be. Also we have never been back to modify anything for increased needs.
answered on Dec 12, 2023
Yes, you can garnish wages up to the maximum allowed by law, and seize any tax refunds. You can also reduce the unpaid back child support to a judgment and impress a child support lien on any non-exempt assets.
The default date is tomorrow and I have not received any response from the other party.

What can be done depends on what the order states. An enforcement or a modification could be filed with the court of the last order.
My kid turns 18 one year before he is supposed to graduate, do I have to pay until he graduates even if he is already 18? Is this something I can fight against?
answered on Sep 5, 2023
Typically yes you will need to continue to pay child support until graduation as long as the child remains enrolled in school. It is highly highly unlikely a court will not require it.

It may. You certainly can subpoena them either from the other parent or from the companies that hire him as an independent contactors.
I want to file for child support and request a copy of my ex-bank statements.

You do not have to serve your ex with the subpoena; however, depending on the bank, it could be hard for you to subpoena bank records if you do not know the account numbers.
Can I come off of bond if I haven't been indicated in the last 9 months or my case dismissed?

A Texas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. This is posted under "Traffic Tickets, Car Accidents and Child Support." You could repost and add "Criminal Law" as a category - better chances of a reply under that heading. Good luck

No. But a man who denies that he is the father of the child can request that a paternity test be ordered, and the court must order it under those circumstances.
Many fathers acknowledge paternity, and it is not mandatory to perform a paternity test in such circumstance before a court... View More
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... View More

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.
I would like to know if I can record my kids when I pick them up and drop them off at their moms if I’m letting her know she’s being record and my kids too? Can I still record even when I inform her and says she doesn’t give consent

I just received my pay check with a gross rate for two weeks was 1,094.38. My take home income was $112.19
answered on Mar 21, 2023
If the gross pay accurately reflects your usual gross pay for this employer, you should consider filing a motion to modify your child support amount to better reflect your recent pay history.
my daughters no longer want to live their mom but they aren't 12 yet. I have had cps called on their mom a couple of times already and the first time they made her move from her apartment because it was filthy and had roaches everywhere. the second time they gave her time to clean the new place.
answered on Feb 27, 2023
Hire a lawyer to file a motion to modify you current order. If you do not have an order you can hire a lawyer to get an order for the kids to live with you.
My mother is my main guardian, and she put my dad onto child support. I am currently not attending school , and a soon to be full time worker? Would it be possible in Texas ?
answered on Feb 15, 2023
As long as both parents agree, yes it should be possible. I strongly recommend getting the agreement in writing in case either parent attempts to back out and enforce the terms of their current court order.
answered on Feb 3, 2023
Yes, she can take the phone but the kids should be allowed to talk to you ,
I have two children 21 and 19. I owe back child support in the amount 25,000. I am making monthly payments of $315.00. I need my passport as I may need to relocate with my spouse to Mexico. Please advise. Thank you for your help.
answered on Jan 31, 2023
You will need to pay off your back child support in order to get a passport.
answered on Jan 23, 2023
It is not wise. The other party could claim it was a gift and you may have to pay double. Use the AG and you will not have any issues
