License Suspension & Nonpayment Of Child Support
All people are equal before the law. However, a good attorney makes a significant difference.
What To Do When Nonpayment Of Child Support Leads To A Suspended Driver’s License
When a parent fails to pay court-ordered child support, it can lead to serious legal consequences. One penalty that can impact every aspect of a person’s life is denial of the renewal of a driver’s license.
At Sralla Family Law PLLC in San Antonio, we understand the difficulties that families face if one parent struggles to pay court-ordered child support and has their license suspended. Our knowledgeable team works to protect parents’ driver’s licenses of parents and ensure that they can continue to support their families.
What Situations Might Lead To A Nonrenewable License?
In Texas, the Texas Attorney General may mark a license as “non-renewable” if they do not comply with the terms of their child support order. Failing to pay court-ordered child support payments for three months or follow a court-ordered repayment schedule can lead to a license suspension. Parents may also face issues if they fail to appear in court after receiving a subpoena or if they violate a custody-related court order.
If these situations arise, you will receive notice that you cannot renew your license. While you can still drive until your license expires, driving after your license expires will lead to serious penalties.
Can I Get My License Back?
If you are at risk of having your license suspended due to nonpayment of child support, there are steps you can take to protect your ability to drive. In situations where you believe that your license suspension was the result of an error, you can request a hearing to show evidence that the Attorney General should not have suspended your license.
Complying with the terms of your court order – whether that means appearing in court or making missed child support payments – will allow you to renew your license again. You may also need to pay late fees to restore your license.
In either situation, you may want to seek legal guidance to fully understand your legal options. An attorney can help you address a nonrenewable license and potentially work toward a modification if your child support arrangement needs to change.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does A Divorce Cost In San Antonio?
A divorce case can cost anywhere from $2,000.00 to $10,000.00 and up in San Antonio. This price range typically varies based on the complexity of each particular case, the extent to which the matter is contested, the aggressiveness of the family law attorneys involved, whether a jury trial is requested and many other often unpredictable factors.
Where Do I Go For A Divorce?
If you hire a family law divorce lawyer, your lawyer will file your divorce petition electronically. If you are filing your divorce without the help of a family law attorney, you can do so at the Family Law Staff Attorney’s Office at the Bexar County Courthouse, 100 Dolorosa, San Antonio, Texas 78205.
How Much Does It Cost To File For Divorce In San Antonio?
A divorce without children typically costs around $350.00, while a divorce involving children typically costs about $401.00. These costs vary from county to county.
What Is A Spouse Entitled To In A Divorce In Texas?
Either spouse is entitled to a just and right division (roughly 50%) of the community estate and, in certain extreme cases, a disproportionate share (greater than 50%) of the community estate. This includes all assets acquired during the marriage, but does not include a spouse’s separate property.
How Do I Get A Divorce With No Money?
Getting a divorce with absolutely no money is difficult but not impossible. The party seeking to file for divorce can visit the Family Law Staff Attorney’s Office at the Bexar County Courthouse to obtain a packet of information to assist in preparing and filing the paperwork for starting a divorce case. The filing fee can be waived if the filing party prepares an affidavit of indigency declaring that he or she has no money. Another alternative is to seek free legal aid or the assistance of a pro-bono lawyer.
