If you have filed for child support, get notice of a child support review meeting or are served with notice of a child support hearing, you should consult an attorney as soon as possible because your rights will not be protected by the Office of the Attorney General.  The Office of the Attorney General represents the State of Texas and not you the parent. No matter what aspect of child support you have a legal issue with, our firm is here to help you and guide you through the process.

Oftentimes, parents apply for child support through the Office of the Attorney General, State of Texas.  Once a parent applies for services, the Attorney General’s office will open a new case. Additionally, if a parent is already receiving or paying child support, the amount can be modified based on very specific guidelines.

As a general rule in Texas, child support is paid by the parent that does not have primary custody of the child or children. The amount of child support to be paid is based on a percentage of the parent’s net resources. The percentage paid by the parent varies depending on the number of children the parent has to support.
