What can I do if child support isn’t being paid?
If child support payments are overdue, Karen Marvel can assist in enforcing court orders. This includes wage garnishment, property liens, or legal action to recover the funds owed to your child.
Can child support be modified?
Yes, child support can be modified if there’s a significant change in circumstances, such as a parent’s job loss, a new job, or changes in the child’s needs. We guide you through the process to ensure compliance with Texas law.
Does child support end when my child turns 18?
