Harris County FOCAS Program and Child Support
In the Houston area the Harris County Child Support Registry, Office of the Attorney General, and Harris County Domestic Relations Office enacted the FOCAS Program. FOCAS stands for Focus on Collections and Services. A main objective of the FOCAS program is to monitor the collection of child support obligations from the non-custodial parent and to contact him/her if he/she falls behind in child support payments.
The FOCAS program's services also include locating the non-custodial parent, enforcing existing child support orders, enforcing medical support orders, and even collecting child support through the interception of IRS tax refunds.
