My question involves child support in the State of: Texas. I have an open case in Oklahoma for child support. I moved to texas years ago, the child resides with me 365, the father who still resides in oklahoma made a verbal agreement to pay by texas 20%. I finally pushed the issue to have an official review done, texas supposedly has jurisdiction of the child support if i transferred it to texas ag, but since he lives and works in oklahoma, does it go by OK guidelines?
Also, I'm wanting to file a motion pro se that he should be ordered to pay 1/2 legal fee's so my child can also have a private atty like he does, can i expect the judge to respond to my motion prior to the next oct. court date, with all parties being served and noted on the certificate of service.
I have contacted one atty in texas, whom i trust and respect his opinion very much, but I am still confused as to which state figures the amount.
The father did NOT in fact pay as he agreed, shorting the support a couple hunderd every month, I have been advised that the father is under no obligation to pay back support that he cheated his son out of. He claimed to us to only make around a $1600. a month, when he fact he was making over $3,000. that add's up to a lot of child supportthe kid was supposed to receive.![]()
