In a significant achievement for Texas family services, the NCP Choices Program, a child support initiative, has recently surpassed a collection milestone of $1 billion. This program aids noncustodial parents in finding not just any job but steady, suitable employment that better enables them to support their children financially. The announcement, made yesterday, draws attention to the program's successful partnership between the Office of the Attorney General’s Child Support Division, the Texas Workforce Commission, and IV-D Courts since 2005, according to the Office of the Attorney General of Texas.
The program is tailored to both assist and to closely monitor noncustodial parents as they journey towards consistent employment, which in turn facilitates the fulfillment of their child support obligations. The Texas Attorney General's Office remarks on the NCP Choices Program's focus on long-term economic stability for families. "I am extremely proud of the success of our NCP Choices Program, which has helped so many Texas parents struggling with employment achieve greater financial stability for their families," said Attorney General Paxton in a statement obtained by the attorney general's office.
Since its inception, the program has been instrumental in transforming the lives of thousands of Texas families. By focusing on career development, the NCP Choices Program not only ensures that children receive the support they need but also contributes to the overall economic well-being of the state. The initiative underscores a proactive approach to addressing child support by working directly with noncustodial parents rather than solely enforcing legal measures.
The announcement also serves as an acknowledgement of the collaborative efforts between state agencies and the judiciary system to support children and families in Texas. The milestone speaks for itself, a billion dollars in collections is no small feat and represents countless children benefited. "The NCP Choices Program underscores our commitment to ensuring that Texas children receive the support they need," Attorney General Paxton conveyed, as per the attorney general's office.
