Texas child support guidelines
Raising a child is expensive. Both parents are expected to contribute. During a divorce, or as part of a paternity dispute, the question of child support payments needs to be addressed to ensure that the non-custodial parent is contributing a fair amount.
At the law firm of Patel Warren & Ervin, our lawyers take great care to see that child support payments are fair. As your case moves forward, we will educate you about the laws related to child support. Our goal is to see that those laws work for you and your child.
A Matter of Guidelines
In most cases, there is very little room for dispute when it comes to child support payments. The law provides very clear guidelines that dictate how child support is to be calculated. These guidelines take into account the incomes of the parents, the child's needs and other factors. Our role in most cases is to make certain that all of the numbers that are used to calculate child support are accurate.
When Child Support Gets Complex
There are some situations in which deviation from the guidelines is required. Perhaps the incomes involved are so high that they fall outside of the guidelines. Perhaps the child has special needs that the guidelines simply don't account for. Our attorneys will take great care to see that, regardless of the complex issues involved, your child gets the amount of child support that is fair.
