[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 57141, member: 23"] The Texas AG has a web site just for child support. From the FAQ page : [url="http://www.oag.state.tx.us/cs/parents/faq.shtml#mind"]http://www.oag.state.tx.us/cs/parents/faq.shtml#mind[/url] It's my understanding that if a custodial parent enrolls in the Child Support Program, the parent doesn't have to do a thing to collect -- the AG's office is charged with enforcement. What if the non-custodial parent gets behind in child support payments or refuses to pay? If a non-custodial parent does not pay child support, he or she is subject to enforcement measures to collect regular and past-due payments. The Child Support Division uses many techniques to enforce child support orders, including: requiring employers to deduct court-ordered child support from the non-custodial parent's paycheck through wage withholding; intercepting federal income tax refund checks, lottery winnings, or other money that may be due from state or federal sources; filing liens against his or her property or other assets; suspending drivers, professional, and hunting and fishing licenses; and filing a lawsuit against the non-custodial parent asking the court to enforce its order. A judge may sentence a nonpaying parent to jail and enter a judgment for past due child support. Also: Who can apply for child support services and what is the fee? The Attorney Generals office accepts applications from mothers, fathers, and other individuals who have possession of a child. Our attorneys represent the State of Texas in providing child support services and do not represent either parent in the case. [b]Applicants do not have the right to select what enforcement actions are taken in their cases.[/b] [emphasis added] The Office of the Attorney General is required to provide all appropriate services for the benefit of the children. Temporary Assistance to Needy Family (TANF) recipients automatically receive child support services, but persons who do not receive TANF must apply for Title IV-D child support services. There is no fee to apply for child support services provided by the Office of the Attorney General.
