The Attorney You Want In Your Corner When Your Finances and Child’s Future Is At Stake

 

As a Child Support Defense Lawyer I provide legal representation and advocacy for individuals facing child support-related issues, particularly those who are being pursued for payments they believe are unjust, excessive, or financially unmanageable. These legal professionals work to ensure that clients’ rights are protected under Texas family law and that support obligations are fair and accurately calculated.

To Qualify For A Modification As A Non- Custodial Parent: 

You can modify a child support order if there’s been a “material and substantial change” in circumstances for the child, a parent, or another affected person, or if it’s been at least three years and applying the Texas child support guidelines would result in a 20% or $100 difference in the monthly support amount.

Services Offered:

1. Defense in Child Support Enforcement Cases
If the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) or the other parent seeks to enforce child support through wage garnishment, license suspension, or even jail time, a defense attorney can fight to protect you from harsh penalties.

2. Modification of Existing Child Support Orders
Lawyers assist clients in modifying child support orders due to changes in circumstances, such as job loss, reduced income, or additional children to support.

3. Disputes Over Arrears and Back Child Support
Attorneys help negotiate or challenge back child support amounts, disputing incorrect calculations or negotiating repayment plans to avoid legal consequences.

4. Paternity and Parentage Issues
A defense lawyer can contest paternity if there’s reason to believe the alleged father is not biologically related to the child, which directly impacts child support obligations.

5. Representation in Court and Administrative Hearings
Child support defense lawyers represent clients in family court and administrative hearings before the Texas Attorney General’s office, ensuring due process is followed and presenting a strong case.

6. Advocacy for Fair Support Calculations
They ensure that the amount of support ordered is based on accurate financial information, preventing overpayment or excessive burdens.

7. Protection Against Contempt Charges
If a parent is accused of willfully failing to pay child support, a lawyer can defend against contempt of court charges and seek alternative solutions.

Whether you’re wrongly accused of owing support, facing enforcement actions, or seeking a modification, a child support defense lawyer in Texas can provide experienced, knowledgeable legal assistance to help you navigate the complex family law system.

Child support is designed to ensure that children receive adequate financial support, but if an order is unfair to either parent, it may need to be modified. If you would like to request a change to a support order or were served with notice that your co-parent filed a petition for a modification, it is advisable to meet with an attorney to discuss your options.
