The Most Wanted Child Support Evaders in Texas

| No TrackBacks

Every year, the Texas attorney general is obligated to release an annual list of the state's most wanted child support evaders who are wanted by authorities for violating court orders. KTRE reports that Attorney General Greg Abbott's Child Support Division released the Top Ten List of Texas' Most Wanted Child Support Evaders yesterday in hopes that community members would be able to identify some of the evaders.

The list of most wanted child support evaders consists of nine men and one woman. Combined, the parents owe $1.1 million in overdue, court-ordered child support. Tomas Roman, who owes $160,928 for two children in Katy, is the only one of the evaders to have a last known address in the city of Houston. A full list of evaders can be found at the Attorney General's website, along with the evaders' photograph and informational profile.

These parents have a legal obligation to support their children, and because they owe outstanding fines, they'll likely face criminal charges if they're found. The Attorney General's Child Support Division says that incarceration is the only option for parents who repeatedly ignore court orders requiring them to pay child support.

To report child support evaders, individuals can contact the Attorney General's Office by calling (866) EVADERS (382-3377). Unpaid child support remains a huge problem in the city of Houston and all over the state of Texas. Parents who are seeking past due child support can get help with the collection process from a district attorney or from local Texas family law attorneys.
