hi I am a custodial parentl.my ex husband was ordered to pay child support. The first month it was due he paid nothing. He sign papers for the child support to come directly out of his check but it was not due until the second payment was due. Then I was informed that i would receive less than half the amount he was order to pay because they only can take so much out of his pay. I was told the rest would go into arrears.I a was assured that he would have to pay all that he owed me even if it takes him fifty years. As long he made partail payments there would be little they would do to enforce the court order payment. My complaint is this I don't need money for my children after they have grown up and can take care of themselves.I need the money now I have to work hard to make ends meet today not fifty years from now. Why even order a amount to be paid if its ok just to make partail payments.My husband is in the miltary. He has a study pay check he has not lost a job or anything like that. I just don't think this is right or just.I don't get to make partail payments for my children.All that i have goes towards them.Is there any help for parents who r experiencing this problem.

One Sided As Usual by: Patch
As usual all you "custodial" parents worry about is where the money is coming from. Do Ya'll ever concern yourselves with how the money is spent? Of Course not! You are complaining about the money collecting aspect of the A.G. job description at least you can complain. I want to know where my money is being spent as a "non-custodial" parent who stays up on his child support. Maybe we should get together and go before the Texas Government about the Child Support System because from what I see WE (non-custodial parents) are getting a bigger shaft from the A.G. then you all are. For example visitation; oh wait we get that tired ass excuse about looking out for the best interest of the child crap! Get real, the entire system needs an enema not just the part that you are not getting any money.

I wish the AG would help the Non-Custodial Parent by: Stepmother of 3
I agree and disagree with this change, I agree if the employer gets fined for not garnising the wage of a non custodial parent. But I don't agree with the garnishing of tips... whats next perduim the non custodial parents receive for travel expen's. Because if that is case I WILL FIGHT THIS TELL THE END!!!! My husband pays his child support faithfully every week $366.00 to the mother and grand parents of his 3 children, His oldest son mother has never had a job and expects us to do everything,while she gets every state aid she can to do drinking and druging and the state of TX even pays for her van and car insurance. SO MY QUESTION IS WHEN WILL THE AG HELP THOSE NON CUSTODIAL PARENTS THAT PAY THEIR CHILD SUPPORT, AND MORE JUST TO GET SCREWED?
