Child Support

Child Support Attorney • Child Custody and Visitation Rights Lawyer

Child support and child custody are often among the most contentious issues in any divorce or family law matter. At the Law Offices of Pamela S. Thompson, we explain child support laws and help you determine what your child support expectation should be under Texas law. We can also help you modify your original child support judgment when things change in your life. Attorney Pamela S. Thompson Bio/PamelaThompson.asp has more than sixteen years of experience exclusively practicing Texas and military family law.

Whether you are paying or receiving child support, if you have a child support legal issue, we urge you to remember to keep the child's best interest at heart. Contact the child support lawyer's Offices of Pamela S. Thompson to discuss your legal needs. We keep the child first and work hard to reduce the stress that often surrounds child support payment and enforcement issues. We encourage a mediated settlement between parties, to help reduce the children's exposure to the emotional issues that often erupt.

Child Support Modifications

Child support is intended for the benefit of a child, not the custodial parent. As such, it is an obligation you owe your son or daughter and not his or her mother or father. If you can't meet your child support obligations due to illness or loss of employment, you can't negotiate a verbal agreement with your ex-spouse that allows you to reduce or stop child support payments. If you do so you may be held in contempt and could be fined, have your wages garnished, or thrown in jail. In order to reduce or halt child support payments, you must file a prior order (post-divorce modification) that must be approved by the court. We can help you assemble all necessary documents and materials and ensure you comply with the terms of your divorce.
