Enforcement of Child Support

IV-D Monitoring Program

If your divorce decree was signed on or after October 16, 2000, or your final order establishing paternity was signed on or after March 12, 2007, it is possible your case was automatically referred into IV-D Monitoring Program.  The program is the result of a cooperative agreement (contract) between the Domestic Relations Office and the Texas Attorney General's Office.  It authorizes Legal Support Services to file motions regarding child support under Title IV-D of the Social Security Act, in the same manner as any Texas Attorney General's Office.

NOTE: Paternity orders initiated by the Texas Attorney General's Office are not part of the Domestic Relations Office IV-D Monitoring Program.

Application Services:

If your case was not referred to the IV-D Monitoring Program, Legal Support Services may file an action to enforce a child and medical support obligation under our enforcement application services. Read Additional information.
