Ensuring fair child support arrangements that protect your child’s future.

Why You Should Hire A Lawyer For A Child Support Issue

If you are having a problem collecting child support from your child’s father or mother, hiring a child support lawyer, rather than going through the attorney general, can expedite the process. It is a responsibility of the State Office of the Attorney General in Texas to collect child support and enforce orders. However, they cannot serve as your legal representative. And because of their caseload, an enforcement through the attorney general can take a minimum of three months. Some take as long as 18 months.
