I was told I would be getting a letter in the mail from CPS. What are my rights and obligations, seeing as I am behind on child support?
Robert's answer: Being behind on child support does not affect your conservatorship of your children. You should hire an attorney immediately so you can assert your rights in court. Don't wait for CPS, take the initiative and fight for your children. If the mother is not a fit parent, you can petition for custody of your children.
