Arrearages Information and Laws in Texas
Failure to pay child support is one of the most reprehensible forms of negligence imaginable. Arrearages occur when one parent fails to provide the court mandated amount of child support. While most people take the obligation to provide the means for their children seriously, some elect to dodge this most serious responsibility, causing undue hardship and stress not only on their offspring, but to the other parent as well.
Even though there are numerous ways to collect financial restitution from a delinquent spouse, it is time consuming and difficult. In some cases, there is legitimate cause for a readjustment of economic duty, such as loss of income or illness, but that is to be determined by the court. Furthermore, bankruptcy cannot discharge the requirement of child support, so provisions must be made for continued payment should one parent face dire financial straits.
Sometimes situations such as unemployment make it very difficult to meet child support obligations. If you are in arrears in child support payments, you need compassionate, competant counsel to analyze the situation and assist you in presenting the information to the court and offering the best possible payout schedule.
At the other end of the spectrum, If your spouse refuses to shoulder the responsibility mandated by the court, an important recourse is to purse legal action. Consulting a lawyer about an arrearage is a powerful motivation for your spouse to make the appropriate financial provisions. Take the time to make sure that your children are getting what they deserve - they are worth it. Contact us today.
