Inside the Texas Attorney General's Office (Child Support Division) - Help/Assistance for the Abused "Customer"

(Child Support Division): an Exposé

The inefficiencies of a bumbling, incompetent, arrogant, out-of-control, mismanaged, poorly-run bureaucracy. An inside look, from a former employee.

The Child Support Division of the Texas Attorney General's Office (Office of the Attorney General of Texas) ... how the AG's office REALLY operates. Child support enforcement, child support modification, paternity, the IV-D system... the Attorney General's Office is in charge of consumer protection, enforcement of pollution laws, prosecution of state officials, etc., yet over half of its employees work for the Child Support Division ... and they STILL can't get the job done.
