McKinney, Texas, Child Support Defense Lawyers
If you have a minor child and have been through a divorce, chances are you strongly desire that your spouse has and contributes the resources to provide for your child. Yet there are complexities to many child support scenarios.
For instance, perhaps you are paying more than you can afford in child support payments. Perhaps you feel your spouse could contribute more toward earning the income needed to support your child. Or perhaps the court made an error when determining the child support amount you should pay.
If you disagree with the terms of your child support agreement, or will soon divorce and have questions regarding how to ensure your child support payments will be reasonable, we can help. The family law law firm of Brown & Long has handled thousands of child support legal cases, including numerous cases of child support defense.
Are you paying too much in child support? Did the court err when determining the amount of monthly child support you should pay? Call Brown & Long for answers and full legal representation at 972-562-3689.
There are several legal defenses for non payment of child support. These include:
- Physical possession of the child
- Making payments directly to the custodial parent
- Inability to pay (for example, homelessness)
- Physical or mental incapacity that developed after the divorce
If your former spouse or former partner has brought a case against you for lack of child support payment, we can meet with you, examine the basis for the missed payments, and work to identify and implement the solution that will work best for you and for your child. And if the attorney general has made an error concerning an administrative writ resulting in paycheck garnishment, a suspended driver's license, or a lien placed incorrectly on a bank account, we can work to cease harassment and protect your rights.
In a recent case, our client moved out of state after settling his child support payment obligations with his former spouse through a good-faith agreement. His former spouse sued for payment, and our representation led to the court ruling that he owed no further payments based on the agreement he and his former spouse had signed.
