Pflugerville, TX Child Support Lawyer
What Our Clients Say
There are two ways to set up child support in Texas, and which one you choose shapes how much control you have. SMB Law, PC helps Pflugerville parents decide between the state child support office and a private attorney — and handles the case either way. A Pflugerville child support lawyer can explain the tradeoffs between the state office and private counsel so you keep the control you want. Shane has handled Central Texas support cases since 2003 and personally guides parents through either path.
Pflugerville’s busy, growing families often start with the state system because it is free, then find they want a faster, more tailored result than a high-volume caseload can offer.
Where a Pflugerville child support case is handled
Pflugerville is in Travis County, so a support case is filed with the Travis County District Clerk at the Civil and Family Courthouse on Guadalupe Street — a few blocks from our office, where we appear regularly.
The OAG child support office versus a private attorney
The Texas Office of the Attorney General runs a Child Support Division that will establish, collect, and enforce support at no charge — a genuine resource, but one that represents the State’s interest, not yours, and moves at the pace of a very large caseload. A private attorney represents you directly, can move faster, and can dig into contested income or custody issues the OAG process is not built to handle. For a straightforward Pflugerville case the state office may be all you need; where income is disputed or the stakes are high, direct representation usually pays for itself.

Frequently asked questions
Should I use the Attorney General or hire a lawyer?
The OAG Child Support Division is free but represents the State, not you, and carries a heavy caseload. A private attorney represents you directly and can move faster on contested issues.
Does the Attorney General represent me in my case?
No. The OAG acts in the State’s interest in establishing and enforcing support; it is not your personal lawyer, which surprises many parents.
Where is a Pflugerville child support case filed?
