WHAT IS CHILD SUPPORT?

Child support is court-ordered payment from one parent to another intended to provide for the financial needs of a child following a divorce or separation.

A judge will review several factors to come up with a child support payment amount. These factors include:

A child support calculator can offer an idea as to how much will be owed, but there are circumstances that can affect child support.

Speaking with an established Texas child support attorney about your specific situation will give you the most clear idea of the support amount. Who will provide health care to the child or children is an issue that will need to be determined.

CHILD SUPPORT MODIFICATIONS

Child support payments can be modified as your situation changes. A marriage, significant change in a person’s health or job can affect the amount that is paid or received. It is important to communicate with the other parent and seek a modification instead of just not paying.

FAILURE TO PAY CHILD SUPPORT

Failing to pay child support can mean the loss of a parent’s passport, driver’s, professional, and other licenses. Liens can also be placed on bank accounts or other income avenues. Parents who are in contempt are subject to fines and in some cases jail time. Ms. LaFour assists parents in every aspect of Texas child support issues.
