You may not be able to. If your children where under the age of 18 when the decree for support was created then the non-custodial parent is still responsible for that support. Only a few states back date, which means that if you had the decree written up when the child was 17 then the non-custodial parent would have to pay from the day that they left the house.
States can garnish wages for back child support, and also garnish tax refunds to pay child support.
If it was dropped due to the child moving out on their own at age 16, which is when a child can rent their own place in Texas, than it cannot be reengaged.Wiki User

If a child support order is dropped in Texas does the non-custodial parent still owe the back pay?
no because the charges has been dropped an consider that Texas is apart of the united states the charges cannot still be given to the noncustodial parent. It depends on the language of the court order. "Dropped" is not a legal term.
In the state of Texas if you are seventeen and your parent is receiving child support does the child have to live at home for parent to continue child support?
Yes. Child support is for the "custodial parent". If you are not living at home with your custodial parent, then they are no longer eligible to receive child support. However, the non-custodial parent can request a modification if the child is no longer living with the custodial parent and that includes a change of custody. A 17 yr old is not emancipated in Texas, unless proper procedures through the courts have taken place. If that is the case, then the custodial parent and child are no longer eligible for child support.
Can custodial parent waive child support arrears in Texas?
Technically arrears cannot be waived. However, a custodial parent can fill out a form stating that no child support is due.
Does the non-custodial parent need to have insurance on the child when paying child support in Texas?
Yes, if it is so ordered in the child support agreement. If the parent loses their insurance and the custodial parent has the ability to insure the child - it will be possible for the state to order the custodial parent to do so. This may change the amount of support the non custodial parent pays - it is entirely up to the whim of the courts.
If I am the custodial parent in Texas and the non-custodial parent doesn't pay child support how can I take all his parental rights?
You can't. One has nothing to do with the other.

In Texas Does a non custodial parent have to pay child support if the child lives with them and not the custodial parent in Texas?
No, but the new CP should get into court right away, get legal custody and get the order for support terminated. Initially, contact the AG with evidence that you have possession of the child. They can initiate a modification request. see link

If a father was receiving child support in Texas and the child chooses to live with the other parent do you have to pay the other parent child support?
If the arrangement is with the consent of the custodial parent and will be permanent then the custody and child support orders must be modified to reflect the change in legal custody. The parent in Texas needs to have their custody formalized by a court order so they can enroll the child in school, consent to medical treatment, etc. If the child support order is not modified the non-custodial parent may be subject to the accumulation of child support arrears.
In Texas can a 17-year-old on probation in the county where he and the custodial parent reside be sent to live with the non custodial parent?
Not arbitrarily. The custodial parent would have to receive permission from the court for the change in residence.
Texas- if you are the custodial parent of 17 y. o. receive child support from noncustodial parent she then choices on her own to live with noncustodial can the support be flipped?
Yes, it can. Moving in with the other parent is grounds for "flipping" child support payments. However, this must be done by court order.
