This has been an ongoing debate and non-custodial parents feel they should know where their money is being spent. Courts have opposed this as of today. When child support was introduced in 1975, many non-custodial parents would refuse to pay and many children were thrust into poverty. Currently, not paying child support according to Child Support Laws (2014),”made it a Federal crime to willfully fail to pay past-due child support payments.” Punishment can include loss of driver's license or passport, not able to obtain credit, and possibly not able to obtain

Property taxes in Texas have not always been the most favorite bill a citizen has to pay, some are large bills and some are small bills. Many legislatures and governors have played a role when it comes to property taxes and how much each citizen should be taxed.

Christopher Lambesis (Father) and Erin Lambesis (Mother) were divorced in 2013. In the divorce decree, Father was ordered to pay Mother $100 per month for child support for the two minor children. In October 2014, Father filed a Petition to Modify Child Support. Based on his own calculations using the Parent’s Worksheet for Child Support, he requested Mother pay him $100 per month. Mother requested a hearing in response including her own calculations indicating that Father should be paying her $123 per month. An evidentiary hearing was held and the court ordered Father to pay mother child support amounting to $149.30 per month. Father filed a Motion for a New Trial stating that he was not provided with documentation regarding Mother’s financial status in a timely manner and that the family court’s child support obligation calculations were incorrect. Mother filed an Application for Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. The court denied Father’s request for a new trial and granted Mother’s request for attorney fees. Father filed a motion to reconsider the allocation of parenting time coordinator’s fees. This motion was also denied. Father appealed the court’s decision.

The history of the Judicial System in Texas began in the early nineteenth century, specifically in 1836. Since then, it has gone under many changes in structure, the importance of certain roles, and many constitutional amendments. Because of all of these adjustments and layering, the Texas Judiciary System is one that is very complex and intricate with many separations and overlapping areas.

Which means even if the noncustodial parents live in another State he can still be tracked down for support. Employers are vital to the child support program. Child support can be collected through direct wage withholding. This will also implement the employer to enroll children in health insurance, and remit child support o the State Disbursement Unit. Intercepting state and federal tax return, workers compensation, and unemployment payments is another action that can be taken to obtain support. Both the custody and noncustodial parent will be sent letter informing of such action. In some cases if support is left unpaid there will be a order to report back to court where the noncustodial parent may be given the option to go pay amount due or ordered to jail. If the noncustodial parent does not show up for court the judge will issue a warrant. In most cases passports and driver’s license have even been revoked for not paying order child support. I have seen the judge go as far as suspending certain business

I am writing to you to inform you of the statutes of limitations in Texas and my thoughts on the topic. Statutes of limitations is the time period in which a lawsuit or other civil action must be filed, as measured from the date of the incident.

As of February 2016, Texas unemployment rate had fell 0.1 percentage points to 4.4 percent (1) according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). There were 1,011,882 people unemployed in Texas in Septemeber 2009, but now is 436,912 fewer people unemployed. Although the economy is adding more jobs but the unemployment rate is still a problem in Texas. The reason that Texas had higher unemployment rate than the other state because Texas had the most immigrant. The unemployment rate in Texas of African American is 11.4 percent, which “has been well over twice the white rate for much of the last five years” (Gable 2). Also, Hispanic is 7 percent, which is much more than the white unemployment rate of 4.3 percent. The closing down companies and

If the noncustodial parent is already behind on payments they will investigate as much as they can based on the information you have given to them. However, they will not represent you in court if that is the next step to be taken. You may also apply for legal aid and if your circumstances are right and a court appointed lawyer may be provided. However, this does not mean that you will get a great lawyer or one that is best for your case. The noncustodial parent may get a more experienced lawyer. There are other steps that can be taken at this point which include; hiring a privet investigator, hiring an agency dedicated to acquiring child support, or hiring an attorney to file contempt charges against the noncustodial parent. None of these options are inexpensive and if the custodial parent is already not receiving child support they may have run out of options and money needed to go back to court to file charges.Even if contempt charges are filed, the noncustodial parent must still be arrested so their last known address must be known. If the noncustodial parent has moved or cannot be found for them the best that can be hoped for is that they unfortunately get arrested for something else in the mean time or hope that they decide to start making payments.

     The court has the power to punish neglection, violation of duty, or any other misconduct. Also a non-payment of a sum of money, ordered by the court to be paid can lead to contempt of court. Another type of contempt is whether the contempt charged is civil or criminal in nature. The difference between civil and criminal contempt is the remedy sought.
