Understanding Child Support in Texas
Child support ensures that children’s needs are met after a divorce or separation. Texas law requires both parents to contribute financially to the upbringing of their children, regardless of custody arrangements. Typically, the custodial parent provides support directly through day-to-day care, while the non-custodial parent fulfills their obligation by making payments established through a court order.
Child support covers essential expenses such as food, clothing, housing, healthcare, and education. Depending on the child’s needs, it can also include costs for extracurricular activities, private school tuition, or medical expenses not covered by insurance. Texas courts base support decisions on the best interests of the child, ensuring financial stability for their future.
Our Child Support Services
We provide a full range of child support services to meet the needs of parents in Houston, Texas:
Establishing Child Support Orders
Whether you are a custodial or non-custodial parent, we assist in establishing child support orders that comply with Texas law while addressing your child’s financial needs.
Modifying Child Support Orders
If your financial circumstances or your child’s needs have changed, you may be eligible to modify your child support order. We help you petition the court for adjustments or defend against unwarranted modifications.
Enforcing Child Support Orders
If the other parent is failing to meet their child support obligations, we take legal action to enforce the court-ordered payments. This may involve wage garnishment, liens, or other enforcement mechanisms.
Calculating Accurate Support Amounts
We ensure that child support is calculated accurately by thoroughly reviewing financial documents and applying Texas guidelines. This helps prevent errors that could result in unfair financial burdens or inadequate support.
Resolving Disputes
Child support disputes can be highly emotional. We provide clear guidance and strong advocacy to help you resolve disagreements quickly and effectively, whether through negotiation, mediation, or court intervention.
Common Questions About Child Support
Child support generally continues until the child turns 18 or graduates from high school, whichever occurs later. In cases where the child has special needs, support may be extended indefinitely.
If you experience a significant change in your financial circumstances, such as losing your job, you may request a modification of your child support order. It’s essential to file for modification immediately, as the court cannot retroactively adjust support obligations.
If the other parent fails to make payments, you can take legal steps to enforce the child support order. Options include wage garnishment, intercepting tax refunds, or holding the non-compliant parent in contempt of court.
