Skilled, Caring Advocacy in Texas Child Support Cases
Child support is generally given to the parent who is given the right to determine the primary residence of the child. The other parent is responsible for paying a fixed portion of his or her income for the benefit of the child. In fixing child support amounts, Texas courts strictly follow statutory child support guidelines. However, the courts can and will deviate from the guidelines in consideration of certain situations, such as a child's special needs.
Because of the importance of the guidelines, we begin by reviewing with you, and explain how they apply to your situation. Typically, the guidelines call for certain percentages of the non-custodial parent's income to be paid as child support. But there are also often many qualifying factors. We feel it is our duty to help you understand how these guidelines and statutory factors are likely to affect you today and in the future.
Even the best divorce and support agreement can become unworkable in an uncertain future. When situations change dramatically, it can become necessary to find alternative solutions. If you need to seek a modification to an existing support agreement, we will work to find practical, creative solutions in and out of the courtroom.
