About Us

To efficiently and effectively assure compliance with the
orders of the courts in regard to family law matters. To
strive to keep families out of our busy courts without
additional burden to the taxpayers.

Under chapter 203 of the Texas Family Code-each County
within the State of Texas has the ability to establish and
fund a Domestic Relations Office (DRO). During fiscal year
2000, County Commissioners unanimously voted to establish a
DRO for El Paso County. The El Paso County Domestic Relations
Office is comprised of four divisions: Child Support
Monitoring and Customer Support Division, Friend of
Court Division, Family Court Services Division,
and Community Supervision Division.
-
- The Child Support Monitoring and Customer Support
Division is responsible for receiving, logging and
forwarding payments to the custodial parents in accordance
with El Paso County child support orders. The Friend of
Court Division provides legal enforcement of orders
regarding child support, visitation and medical reimbursement. The Family Court Services Division conducts court
ordered social study investigations to assure compliance with
child support and visitation orders.
The Community Services Division provides the courts
with a compelling alternative to incarceration for
non-compliant parties and acts to remind everyone to defer to
the courts original order.
