Child Support Enforcement

Problems obtaining child support?

Non-payment of child support is taken very seriously by the courts, in fact, failure to pay is considered contempt of court and could lead to a criminal record or even jail time. Many parents depend on child support to help provide the best for their children. Obviously, a better answer than seeing the child's other parent dealt with criminally, is to find a solution that ensures the other parent honors past-due payments and continues to provide the financial support your children deserve.

If you have custody of your children and the other parent is not making support payments, contacting a Galveston County divorce attorney as soon as possible is a very important first step toward securing the financial support you need to help care for your children.

A parent who does not pay child support can be subject to a number of enforcement measures designed to collect past-due payments as well as regular payments.

Some of the measures used to collect child support may be:

  • Liens against personal property suck as vehicles, boats or property
  • Garnishing wages
  • Intercepting federal and state tax refunds
  • Seizure of financial accounts
  • Reporting unpaid amounts to credit agencies
  • Intercepting unemployment or workers' compensation benefits

If you have been through a divorce or separation, it can be hard to make a new start for yourself and your children. When you are not receiving child support, the financial strain is not only stressful, but can deprive you of being able to provide your children the basic necessities of life.
