How Is Child Support Determined?
In Texas, child support is calculated from child support guidelines. The following items are included in the calculation:
- Noncustodial parent's monthly net income
- Number of children needing child support
Medical insurance is not included in child support payments. The noncustodial parent will generally provide medical coverage in addition to child support payments.
Attorney Jeff Gilbert can answer any questions you have regarding child support determinations. He strives to obtain the best possible outcome for you and your children, allowing you to move forward with your life. He also handles other divorce affecting your children, such as child custody and visitation.
Child Support Modifications
The amount of child support can change months or years after a divorce has been finalized. For the court to grant a child support modification, it must be shown that there has been a change of circumstance in material condition. For example, a parent may have a significant change in income - either an increase or decrease - or remarry. There are any number of factors that can merit a change to the existing child support arrangement. Whether you wish to modify a court order or your ex-spouse does, our firm can help.
