Dallas Child Support Enforcement

Child support issues can range from establishing paternity to enforcement issues. Child support obligations are governed by the Texas Child Support Guidelines, which establish each parent’s obligation to provide child support. However, there are some circumstances that may warrant a deviation from the Texas Child Support Guidelines, such as a parent with special needs.

We will take the time to explain the child support guidelines to you and help you understand the factors that affect support obligations.

Dallas / Plano Paternity and Child Support Enforcement Lawyer

Paternity suits are typically brought by mothers and fathers to establish (or refute) paternity and child support obligations. In some instances, paternity suits are brought to establish paternity for purposes of custody and visitation rights.

Our law firm represents mothers and fathers in paternity actions throughout Collin County, Dallas County, Tarrant County, Denton County and surrounding areas. Family law attorneys Barrett Stern and Michael Dement have extensive experience in handling paternity matters throughout Texas, and can assist you with your quest to establish parentage.

Dallas / Plano Child Support Enforcement Lawyer

We also represent mothers and fathers in child support enforcement proceedings. If you are not receiving child support payments, we can help you enforce the divorce decree and obtain the child support to which you and your child are entitled.

If you are behind on your child support payments, we can assist you in coming up with a plan to get you caught up with payments. We can also represent you in any hearings based on failure to pay child support.

If a change in circumstances is preventing you from paying your child support obligations, we can help you request a child support modification. However, in most cases the child support obligation is not retroactive to the request, which means you may still be obligated for the full amount of child support until a request is made and a judge approves the modification.

In addition to child support, enforcement and paternity, we also handle other family law matters, including:

• Divorce and Collaborative Law
• Complex Property Division and Asset Tracing
• Child Custody and Visitation
• Post Judgment Modification and Enforcement
