Waiver of service?

Service is the process and proof that you have been notified of a hearing. So, a simple waiver of service, means you accept the notification and no deputy sheriff or process server will serve you. It does not affect your later rights at the hearing. However, carefully review the acceptance of service form. Without knowing the full details of the case we cannot properly advise you of your situation. It is likely that Child Support office has failed to contact/locate the child father and asking you to waive child support and finish the case. It can mean many things, it would be best for you to obtain the copy of the order and have an attorney review it. Also, there may be other options available for you which I can not be sure about without knowing the details of the case. So you would have to work with a lawyer. Please keep in mind that not all lawyers are the same, therefore be very cautious as to which attorney or law firm you chose to work with. We are based in New York but my network of SMS ATTORNEYS does travel out of state for clients and we might have a Child Support lawyer available in Texas.
