CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT

Enforcing Unpaid Child Support in Round Rock, Texas

Aggressive Legal Help to Get the Support Your Child Is Owed

When a parent fails to pay child support, the impact is more than just financial—it’s personal. Your child’s needs don’t stop just because the other parent has stopped paying. Fortunately, Texas law gives you the power to enforce your court order and pursue the support your child deserves.

At the Law Office of Carl Knickerbocker, P.C., we help parents in Round Rock and across Williamson County take decisive legal action to collect unpaid child support. Whether the payments have been delayed, inconsistent, or ignored altogether, we can help you enforce the court’s order and hold the other parent accountable.

Your Court Order Has Legal Power—Let’s Enforce It

Once a child support order is signed by a judge, it’s no longer just a suggestion. It becomes a legally binding obligation, and nonpayment is a serious violation. If your co-parent is not paying, you are within your rights to seek enforcement through the court system.

We assist parents throughout Round Rock, Texas, with preparing and filing motions to enforce child support, including contempt actions, wage garnishments, and more. You don’t have to do this alone.

Signs It’s Time to File for Child Support Enforcement

If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s time to talk to a local enforcement attorney:

• The other parent has stopped paying completely

• Payments are late, sporadic, or incomplete

• There are substantial arrears (past-due child support)

• The paying parent is hiding income or working under the table

• You’ve relied on promises to “catch up” that never happen

• The nonpayment is causing financial stress for you or your child

We’ve helped many Round Rock families recover support that was wrongfully withheld—and we’re ready to help you, too.

What the Court Can Do to Enforce Child Support in Round Rock

When you file a motion to enforce child support in Williamson County family court, the judge has access to powerful enforcement tools, including:

• Wage garnishment (income withholding orders)

• Contempt of court proceedings—can include fines or jail time

• License suspensions (driver’s, professional, hunting/fishing)

• Tax refund intercepts

• Bank account seizures

• Property liens

• Negative credit reporting

We’ll help you choose the best strategy based on your situation and present a compelling case to the judge in Round Rock family court.

Contempt of Court: A Serious Consequence for Nonpayment

When a parent willfully disobeys a support order, the court may hold them in contempt of court. This can result in:

• Mandatory payment of past-due support

• A structured payment plan

• Court-ordered probation

• Jail time—up to six months per violation

As your Round Rock child support enforcement attorney, we will file the appropriate motion, present the necessary evidence, and push for real accountability.

What If the Other Parent Moved Away?

Child support orders issued in Round Rock can still be enforced even if the paying parent no longer lives in Texas. The Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA) allows for multi-state enforcement of support orders. We can work with out-of-state agencies to pursue what you are owed—while staying firmly rooted as your legal advocate here in Round Rock.

Why Hire a Round Rock Child Support Lawyer?

While the Texas Attorney General’s Office offers child support services, they often move slowly and cannot provide legal advice or strategy. Their attorneys represent the State—not you.

By working with a private child support attorney in Round Rock, you get:

• A personal advocate focused on your case

• Faster timelines and customized enforcement strategies

• A local attorney who understands Williamson County court expectations

• Clear, honest communication and strong courtroom advocacy

We’re proud to help local parents take back control and secure what their children need to thrive.

At the Law Office of Carl Knickerbocker, P.C., we make enforcement straightforward and effective. We’ll listen to your story, review your current order, and get started on a legal plan to recover what you’re owed.
