    People Often Ask…

    If you are a parent who needs help getting child support payments, modifying an existing child support order, or collecting unpaid back child support, a child support lawyer can help.

    It can be tough to know exactly what questions to ask an attorney about your child support situation. Here are some of the questions that you might want to ask a lawyer during your initial consultation:

    • How does a change in a parent's income affect child support?
    • What options are available for child support enforcement?
    • How difficult is it to change the child support amount or obtain a child support modification?
    • How does custodial parent vs. non-custodial parent status affect support payments?
    • Does alimony change the amount of child support I receive or pay?
    • How can I be sure that child support payments cover daycare (or other childcare options), health insurance and health care costs, special needs care and all of the other needs of the children?

    Whether you need help enforcing a court order, changing the amount of child support you receive or pay, or have other child support needs, picking the right attorney can make a world of difference.

    Consider the following when determining which law firm you want to work on your child support case:

    Comfort Level - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your child support or child custody problem?

    Credentials - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Is the lawyer familiar with child support guidelines in your state? Has the lawyer worked on other child support cases similar to yours?

    Cost - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

    City - Is their law office conveniently located near you?

    Use FindLaw to hire a local child support lawyer near you to set child support obligations, enforce child support orders, and resolve other child support issues.

    To find the right Texas lawyer, you need to ask questions pertinent to your legal case. You should find an attorney to meet your specific needs. Questions to ask before hiring a lawyer may include:

    • How much experience do you have with cases like mine?
    • Do you know the judge or prosecutor in this case?
    • Should I take this case to mediation?
    • What are your legal fees and expenses?
    • Are you available after hours for questions?
    • Which lawyers or associates will I be dealing with?
    • Do I have to appear in person for my case?
    • Where is your Texas law office located?

    Some people find a lawyer based on a recommendation from a friend or family member but you should do your own evaluation. A friend who suggested a divorce attorney may not be in the best position to recommend a criminal defense law attorney or tax lawyer. Dealing with legal issues can be complicated and frustrating. You should find the right lawyer that you can connect with to provide you with information, advice, and the legal aid you need.

    The cost of hiring a lawyer can depend on the type of law and the complexity of the case.Some lawyers offer a free initial consultation. A free consultation is more common in contingency fee cases like personal injury or medical malpractice. Some lawyers may require a fee for the initial interview. During the initial interview, the lawyer may be able to provide some important information, including your legal options, likely outcomes, and cost of legal services.An initial interview is also an opportunity for you to see if this person is the right lawyer for you.

    The State Bar of Texas keeps Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct records of violations or grievances against attorneys in the state. You can use the search tool on the state bar website to check an attorney's public disciplinary history. The state bar search results should show the lawyer's disciplinary history (if any) in Texas and other states.
