Pay your child support.

If your job loss and income decrease was involuntary (Co. went out of business, lay off, etc.) you can file for a modification of CS with the court- not the Attorney General's office. (I am assuming that the AG's office is the CS enforcement agency in Tx.)

Get to court...

Gracie is correct...the courthouse, not the AG's office, is the most efficient route in TX to have your decrease in income addressed.

You can submit the appropriate paperwork to the court yourself or have a paralegal draft for next to nothing.

A voluntary decrease in income (quiting a higher paying job in order to go to work at Sonic) will more than likely be viewed unfavorably by the court. However, the court also understands temporary/extended involuntary loss of income. Good luck.
