- Child Support & Medical Support
An Income Withholding for Support Order form orders an employer to withhold child support, cash medical support, or spousal support from an employee's paycheck.
What is an Income Withholding for Support Order?
An Income Withholding for Support Order (IWO) orders an employer to withhold child support, cash medical support, and spousal support from an employee’s paycheck.
An IWO is always based on a separate order to the employee to pay support—usually as part of a divorce, paternity case, or suit affecting the parent-child relationship (SAPCR).
You may ask the court to sign an IWO if you are the person ordered to pay support or the person ordered to receive support.
Note: If the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) Child Support Division is actively involved in your case, they will issue the IWO administratively. Go to their website, Child Support in Texas , if you have questions or want to apply for their services.
What form do I use?
The Income Withholding for Support Order (IWO) form approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) must be used in all cases. No other IWO form can be used, according to this guidance from the Office of the Attorney General's Child Support Division .
Links to IWO Forms and Instructions
These instructions are designed to help you fill out the required IWO form . Use these instructions with the sample IWO .
What do I do with the IWO form?
- Fill out the required IWO form.
- Print the IWO form.
- If possible, hire an attorney to review your completed IWO form.
- Take the completed IWO form to the Judge who signed, or will sign, your order for child support, cash medical support, or spousal support/spousal maintenance.
- Ask the Judge to sign your IWO.
- File your IWO in the District Clerk’s Office.
- Ask the clerk to send your IWO to the employer of the person ordered to pay support.
What if the person ordered to pay support gets a new job?
If your IWO is directed to “Any Employer/Income Withholder of Employee Named in Order,” ask the clerk’s office to send the IWO to the new employer of the person ordered to pay support.
If your IWO is directed to a specific employer:
- Get an Amended IWO signed by the Judge and

What if the support amount changes?
If the support amount ordered withheld changes, you must have an Amended IWO sent to the employer.
- Example 1: Your current court order says child support decreases each time one of your children turns 18 and graduates from high school. You must have an Amended IWO sent to the employer each time one of your children turns 18 and graduates from high school.
- Example 2: The court modifies (changes) the child support amount and signs a new order. You must have an Amended IWO that reflects the new child support amount sent to the employer.
