Experienced Texas Child Support Attorneys
Both parents have the responsibility of financially supporting their children, and that responsibility does not cease to exist after a divorce. There are specific state guidelines in place that govern the amount of child support that should be paid. Whether you are the paying spouse or the recipient spouse, it is important to have an experienced attorney who understands the law and can work to ensure that the final child support amount is accurate.
While the calculation formulas are clear, it is important to ensure that the correct income numbers are being used. In Texas, the paying spouse is also responsible for the health insurance for the children. Child support payments are based on the number of children and the paying spouse's net income after deducting social security taxes, state and federal income tax and the children's health insurance premiums.
When you hire the law firm of Mark Morales & Associates, P.C., you can count on us to work diligently on your behalf for a fair child support order. We will work to ensure that all eligible income is included in the calculation and create the strongest possible case to support your position in the event of a dispute. For your convenience, we have offices located in Georgetown, Texas, Austin, Texas and San Marcos, Texas.
We also handle modifications to child support orders. If a substantial change in circumstances has occurred since the time of the divorce, such as the job loss of the paying spouse or the children being emancipated, a request for modification of the child support order may be appropriate. It is important to contact an attorney immediately upon the change in circumstances in order to fully protect your rights.
