Tarrant County Employment Partnership Project

The goal of the Employment Partnership Project was to improve collaborative efforts between child support agencies and work programs in order to increase employment and child support payments among noncustodial parents (NCPs). Conducted by the Texas Office of the Attorney General, Child Support Division (OAG) and the Tarrant County Workforce Board (d/b/a/ WorkAdvantage), the project aimed to (1) identify unemployed noncustodial parents (NCPs) when they first establish child support orders, as well as when they are delinquent in their child support payments; and (2) refer NCPs to a special career counselor at the workforce agency who would assist them with job search and employment.
