Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

child support order from another state

my ex and i have a child support decree in place in louisiana but neither of us live there now. Both of us have been gone for over a year.

do i still have to honor the amount of the child support order that's in place there? Can I send a different amount as long as I am providing support on a regular basis until something is established in Texas?

Re: child support order from another state

Your LA order IS enforceable in TX. If you fail to pay the ordered amount, the TX AG can seek enforcement in TX.
