How Is Child Support Calculated in Texas?

Texas's child support formula works to figure out the exact amount that is believed to be in the child's best interest. This is typically determined by calculating the monthly resources of each parent and applying the state's guidelines to establish a figure. If the paying parent (or non-custodial parent) has a responsibility to pay for other children, this will be taken into consideration. Generally the non-custodial parent is charged with paying child support to the parent who has the right to determine primary residence. It is important to provide financial documents to your attorney so that a true child support calculation can be determined.

Other factors that will be considered in addition to financial resources include:

  • The child's school and healthcare needs
  • The child custody agreement
  • Additional needs of the child
  • Social Security or disability benefits

The team at Kutty Law Firm, PLLC has a thorough understanding of child support guidelines under Texas Family Code sec. 154.125. Whether you need to have child support set, modified, or enforced, you can rely on our Sugar Land family law attorney to assist you.

In a divorce, legal separation, or a relationship between two unmarried parents, child support is the payment ordered for the child's care. Typically, the non-custodial parent pays the custodial parent. However, the process of calculating child support can be complicated if you and the other party are not able to come to a decision amicably.

The team at the Kutty Law Firm can assist a party in filing a modification for an increase in child support or a decrease in child support; further we can file an enforcement action for unpaid child support or defend a parent who falls behind in making timely child support payments.
