We consistently produce one of the highest percentages of child support collections in the state of Texas.

By enrolling in the Monitoring Program, we will utilize all the resources available to us to attempt to locate a non-custodial parent, and collect child support through income withholding, income tax refund intercept, and other collection methods.

To speak to a caseworker about enrolling in the Monitoring Program, call (817) 884-1475 or come by in person.

We are located on the 2nd floor of the Family Law Center at 200 E. Weatherford, Fort Worth, TX.


 

When you enroll in the Child Support Monitoring Program, you can rest assured that we will monitor your child support account on a monthly basis.  We will ensure there is compliancy with your court order and take the necessary actions should non-compliancy occur.  It is our goal to keep your case at a paying status so that your children get the financial support they need and deserve throughout the lifetime of the order.
