Galveston County child support matters run through two channels: the District Courts for private legal actions between parents, and the Texas Attorney General’s Child Support Enforcement Division when the state is pursuing enforcement. Which one applies changes your options and your pace, and we represent clients through both regularly.

Board of Legal Specialization and a named Texas Super Lawyer, Scott has spent more than two decades handling contested custody and enforcement actions, exactly the experience that matters when a Galveston County child support order needs to be established or enforced.

Paula’s practice centers on complex child custody litigation and high-conflict divorce, giving League City parents an advocate who understands how support obligations are shaped by the custody arrangement driving the case.

Richard Lybarger

Lourel Jones
Associate Attorney
Lourel built his early career in criminal law, from a felony prosecution clinic to the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, and he brings that same case-building discipline, witness interviews, negotiation, trial prep, to the family law matters he handles for clients here.
Sarah Williams
Family Law Attorney
A University of Houston Law Center graduate whose practice areas include child support alongside divorce and custody, Sarah pairs a research-grounded, client-direct approach with the guideline-calculation precision League City parents need to get support right the first time.
Why League City Families Choose Scott M. Brown & Associates
Child support cases look straightforward until they are not. A guideline calculation is a starting point, not a guarantee. Income verification, the treatment of bonuses and commissions, self-employment income, and the effect of a custody arrangement on the support amount all create room for dispute. League City families need attorneys who know where these disputes arise.
We move quickly when support goes unpaid. Every month that passes without enforcement is a month of arrears accumulating. We know which enforcement tools Galveston County courts and the Attorney General’s office apply, and we use them.
We tell you straight whether a modification clears the legal bar. Filing a petition that does not meet the standard wastes time and money. We evaluate your facts first, before you commit to a filing.
We work through complex income pictures carefully. Restricted stock units, deferred compensation, partnership distributions, and overtime all factor differently into a support calculation. League City families often have more complex income pictures than the standard calculation assumes.
Our case results reflect the preparation behind them. Every case is different, and the facts drive the right number, not promises made in a consultation. What we can commit to is thorough preparation and honest advocacy at every stage. Our published case results reflect the outcomes we have achieved for families across Galveston County.

What to Expect When You Call
Our child support consultation covers the ground you need before making any decisions:
- We look at the income picture on both sides. Salary, bonuses, self-employment, and other sources all factor into what the right number should be.
- We explain what Texas law allows and what it does not. Guideline amounts, deviations, and the modification standard in plain terms.
- We tell you what your next step looks like. Filing, modifying, enforcing, or responding. You leave with a clear path forward.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where will my League City child support case be filed or enforced?
Child support cases for League City residents are typically filed in the Galveston County District Courts, based on where the child and the responding parent live. Enforcement may proceed through those same District Courts or through the Texas Attorney General’s Child Support Enforcement Division, depending on how the case originated. New petitions are filed with the District Clerk at the Galveston County Justice Center, 600 59th Street, Galveston, TX 77551.
I live in the part of League City that is in Harris County. Does that change anything?
A small portion of League City north of Clear Creek falls in Harris County rather than Galveston County. Which county has jurisdiction over your child support case depends on where your child and the other parent actually live, not on your League City mailing address. We represent clients on both sides of that line and can confirm which county applies to your case at your consultation.
My ex stopped paying child support. What are my enforcement options in Galveston County?
Missed payments can be enforced through contempt proceedings in the District Courts, wage withholding, license suspension, and liens on property or financial accounts. You can pursue enforcement through the Texas Attorney General’s Child Support Enforcement Division or through private legal action, which typically gives you more control over the pace and strategy. We handle enforcement cases in Galveston County and can advise which approach fits your situation.
