Texas Child Support Enforcement
Posted on | March 1, 2011 | No Comments
Child support obligations, once ordered, remain in effect until a modification for support is ordered. Even if you are entitled to increase or lower support payments, you cannot receive the benefit of your entitlement until a petition is filed with the court and a judge orders the modification. Typically, the judge will not make his or her order retroactive past the date the request is made.
Please remember that until an order modifying child-support is granted, you can be held in contempt for failure to pay court-ordered child-support.
If you have a question about child support enforcement or paternity, please seek legal counsel from an experienced Texas family law attorney.
