“Court orders in family law aren’t optional. When a parent fails to pay support or blocks access to a child, that’s 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 driver’s license suspension and even jail time for willful nonpayment. The Texas Attorney General’s 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)

It’s 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 parent’s 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.”

A Firm Focused on Enforcement and Results

Mokolo Law Firm offers legal representation for parents on both sides of enforcement disputes — those seeking support or access, and those defending against motions. The firm helps clients build strong evidence files, draft persuasive motions, and prepare for court appearances.

“Whether it’s unpaid support or blocked visitation, these are serious issues with serious solutions,” said Attorney Caresse Duru, who also practices family law at the firm. “We don’t just file motions — we fight to restore balance for parents and protect what matters most: the well-being of the child.”
