No Child Support Offset for Infomal Payments
April 08, 2009
The Dallas Court of Appeals rejected a father’s
argument that pre-divorce payments to the mother
should offset post-divorce child support because
informal payments do not constitute child support. In
addition, a divorce decree does not relieve one of
child support obligations in temporary orders. In
the Interest of R.F.G., No. 05-08-00285-CV (Tex.
App. - Dallas Apr. 3, 2009).
