Texas Parents Struggling With Missed Child Support or Denied Visitation Find Legal Support at Mokolo Law Firm

Houston, Texas Sep 19, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - For parents across Texas, few things are more frustrating than dealing with an ex who refuses to pay child support or denies scheduled visitation. These arent just personal disputes; theyre violations of court orders. And according to legal professionals at Mokolo Law Firm, many parents dont realize the full scope of legal tools available to enforce their rights.

Court orders in family law arent optional. When a parent fails to pay support or blocks access to a child, thats a serious legal violation, said Attorney Uzo J. Mokolo, founder of Mokolo Law Firm, located at 6464 Savoy Drive, Suite 570, Houston, TX 77036.

Enforcing Child Support Orders in Texas

Texas law allows parents to file a Motion for Enforcement when court-ordered child support goes unpaid. The law provides a range of remedies, from wage garnishment and tax refund interceptions to drivers license suspension and even jail time for willful nonpayment. The Texas Attorney Generals Child Support Division may also step in to take independent enforcement action.

However, success depends on documentation.

The burden is on the parent seeking enforcement to show exactly what was ordered, what was paid, and what remains unpaid, said Mokolo. That means keeping clear records: payment logs, bank statements, or official ledgers.

Enforcing Visitation Rights (Possession and Access)

Its not just financial obligations that are enforceable. Visitation orders referred to in Texas as possession or access are equally binding. When one parent refuses to comply, the other may file a Motion for Enforcement of Possession or Access.

Violations include:

• Denying access during scheduled time

• Blocking communication with the child

• Failing to make the child available for pickup

• Consistently interfering with the other parents rights

Texas courts can order make-up time, hold the violating parent in contempt, or even modify custody orders if violations persist.

But as with support, evidence is critical.

You need more than just frustration you need proof, Mokolo emphasized. We advise our clients to document everything: dates, text messages, missed exchanges, even toll receipts showing they showed up for pick-up and were turned away.
