Attorney General Ken Paxton recognized 11 Assistant Attorneys General (“AAG”) of the year from the Child Support Division for their dedication and commitment to serving Texas families and children.

The Attorney General’s Child Support Division offers an array of services to help families, including locating absent parents, establishing paternity for children born to unmarried parents, enforcing and modifying child and medical support orders, and collecting and distributing child support payments.
