The Texas Attorney General’s Office often assists parents in establishing and enforcing child support orders. While the office can help with collections, the process is often slow, confusing, and overwhelming — especially when you’re facing serious consequences like wage garnishment, license suspension, or even jail time.
Our office represents parents in San Antonio, New Braunfels, Seguin, San Marcos, and throughout Bexar County in all matters involving child support, arrears, enforcement, and Attorney General actions.
Facing the Attorney General for Child Support?
The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) may become involved to:
-
Establish child support
-
Enforce unpaid support
-
Collect back child support (arrears)
-
Determine medical support obligations
-
Pursue contempt actions
-
Hold compliance hearings
If you’ve received a notice from the Attorney General or are scheduled for a hearing, we can represent you and protect your rights.
We Represent Parents Facing Jail or Contempt for Unpaid Child Support
If you owe back child support, the OAG can pursue contempt of court, which may result in:
-
Jail time
-
Wage garnishment
-
License suspension (driver’s, professional, hunting/fishing)
-
Tax refund seizure
-
Bank account levies
We work to:
-
Verify whether the arrears amount is accurate
-
Challenge incorrect calculations
-
Develop a reasonable payment plan
-
Prevent incarceration
-
Protect your rights in court
Many parents are charged with owing more than they actually do — and we help correct the record.
Establishing Child Support Without Waiting on the Attorney General
The Attorney General’s office often has long delays. If you need to establish child support quickly — whether you are seeking support or defending against an unreasonable request — we can help your case move forward much faster than the OAG.
We assist parents with:
-
Establishing new child support orders
-
Determining accurate income
-
Calculating guideline support
-
Handling self-employed or independent contractor income
-
Modifying existing orders
For parents who are tired of waiting for the OAG to act, filing a private case is often the fastest and most efficient option.
Determining Accurate Child Support Amounts
Calculating child support is not always simple. We help determine accurate income by reviewing:
-
Paystubs
-
W-2s
-
1099s
-
Bank statements
-
Tax returns
-
Business income (for self-employed individuals)
-
Variable income (overtime, bonuses, commissions)
This ensures that the child support amount is fair, accurate, and based on real numbers.
We Handle Both Sides of Child Support Cases
We represent parents who:
Are seeking child support
Are defending against unreasonable child support claims
Have been threatened with enforcement or jail
Want to modify existing child support
Dispute the OAG’s arrears calculation
Want to proceed independently of the Attorney General’s delays
Whether you are being pursued or need help establishing support faster, we can guide you through the process.
