Re: Court Order on Child Support

Depending on the relationship between the parents, maried, divorced, never married; whether previous court orders are in place all determine the route to be taken. As for time, anywhere from several weeks to several months, depending on the specific circumstances.

Re: Court Order on Child Support

If you never had court-ordered child support, you file a Suit Affecting Parent-Child Relationship. Completing this process could take several months, depending on its complexity.If you do have court-ordered child support, you file a Motion for Enforcement. You can get a hearing within 2-3 weeks. If you are in Houston, call me at 713-932-1888 with any questions.
