How is Child Support Calculated in Texas?
Determining child support amounts in Texas is based on a standardized formula that considers various factors to ensure fairness and equity. Our Bryan & College Station child support lawyers deeply understand this formula. They will work closely with you to ensure accurate financial information, leading to a fair calculation.
The factors considered when calculating child support in Texas include:
- Each parent's income and earning potential
- The number of children involved
- Health care and insurance costs
- Childcare expenses
- Special needs of the child
- Any pre-existing child support obligations
- Visitation arrangements
Our attorneys will guide you through gathering and presenting the necessary financial information to ensure an accurate calculation that reflects your child's best interests and financial situation.
What Age Do You Stop Paying Child Support in Texas?
In Texas, child support typically continues until the child reaches the age of 18 or graduates from high school, whichever occurs later. However, there are exceptions to this rule, such as if the child is disabled or requires ongoing support due to medical or educational needs. Our knowledgeable legal team can help you navigate the complexities of these exceptions to ensure that child support obligations are properly understood and executed.
