Establishing Child Support in Texas

When child support is first established, courts consider several factors, including income, the number of children involved, and existing obligations. While Texas provides guideline percentages, not every case fits neatly into a standard formula.

​

Our attorney helps clients:​

  • Accurately calculate income

  • Identify allowable deductions

  • Address special circumstances

  • Ensure orders comply with Texas law

 

Proper establishment of child support helps reduce disputes and enforcement issues later.

Modification of Child Support Orders

Child support orders may be modified when there has been a material and substantial change in circumstances. Modifications are common as children grow and financial situations evolve.

 

Common reasons for modification include:​

  • Changes in income or employment

  • Changes in custody or visitation

  • Additional children or obligations

  • Changes in a child’s medical or educational needs

 

Modification requests must meet specific legal standards, and careful evaluation is essential to determine whether a change is appropriate under Texas law.

Enforcement of Child Support

When child support is not paid as ordered, enforcement action may be necessary. Texas courts take child support obligations seriously, and enforcement proceedings can carry significant consequences.

​

Our attorney represents clients in child support enforcement matters by:​

  • Building clear evidence of nonpayment

  • Presenting enforcement actions to the court

  • Seeking remedies allowed under Texas law

 

The firm also defends clients against improper or inaccurate enforcement claims.
