What is the name of your state? Texas
My ex owes more than $42,000 in back support. I filed with AG's office back in mid eighties. They garnished his wages; he quit his job. They finally located and served him for a hearing early next month. I was just wondering if anyone had experience with this and could tell me what to expect from this hearing. The ex is saying that I told him he didn't have to pay support (not true) and some other untrue things. I am scared; I've never been in court before and I don't know what to expect. I'm under the impression that this is just to get it before the judge so that he can order enforcement. Has anyone else been through this? Am I going to be "grilled"; I don't have an atty., TOAG is representing my case. Also, the last time they ordered him to pay back support (my child is now 24) he only paid $200 a month. Do I have the right to ask for more than that? I probably won't live long enough to see a full collection at that small amount.
