McKinney, Texas, Child Support Collection Attorneys
Few things are as important to parents as having the income and resources to provide for their children. And few things are as frustrating as attempting to collect the child support payments you need and deserve from the other parent of your minor children.
At Brown & Long, we understand the challenges you face in collecting child support payments from an uncooperative former spouse or partner, and are committed and experienced in helping parents obtain and enforce payment judgments.
Is your former spouse or partner failing to meet child support payment obligations? We have helped thousands of people, and can help you. Call Brown & Long at 972-562-3689.
We have worked with family courts' guardian ad litem system to help thousands of parents enforce child support judgments and collect the child support payments they are owed. We are fully familiar and experienced with all methods available to enforce and collect child support payments, including:
- Sue for contempt for failure to pay. This can ultimately lead to jail time and is the most serious remedy.
- Writ of withholding, which allows you to receive payment from the offender's paycheck.
- Employer's order and new employer's orders. Pre-filing actions can begin the collections process before the offender is even served.
- Child support liens. We can work to obtain a judgment, then use a child support collection lien to seize money from the offender's bank account or other property. Property can be seized until payment is received. We are skilled at using this under-utilized legal tool, and can often obtain a lien within one week.
In a recent case, a man failed to pay child support for four years. He eventually made many excuses, including claiming that he had paid our client directly and outside the court system, and claiming he had had possession of the child. Our representation led to an immediate payment of $10,000 to our client, and a 90-day jail sentence for the father.
