Truancy and child support are two separate issues. You must continue to pay child support, however you can file for custody modification either by seeking custody or increasing custody, thus reducing your child support obligation, if you can prove the mother is not acting in the best interests of the child by enabling his or he truancy.
A person who wags school is often referred to as a truant.
In Texas, parents of a truant child may face legal consequences if their child repeatedly misses school without a valid excuse. They can be charged with a Class C misdemeanor, which may result in fines and court-ordered interventions. Additionally, parents may be required to attend meetings or counseling sessions aimed at addressing the underlying issues of truancy. Ultimately, the goal is to encourage parental involvement in their child's education and ensure consistent school attendance.
Truancy means not being present in class without good reason. A pupil may truent (be absent) for one class or for a whole or part day. Sickness, accompanied by a note from a parent or guardian, is not classed as truancy.
