Bill Summary

Relating to the enforcement of an order to pay child support by contempt.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Texas Family Code to prevent a court from holding a respondent in contempt of court for failure to pay child support if the respondent can show that they are currently up-to-date on their child support payments and that their failure to make timely payments was due to an error by a third party or other circumstances outside their control. The changes made by this bill only apply to hearings to enforce a child support order that commence on or after September 1, 2023.
