Understanding Child Support Laws in Killeen
In Texas, the parent required to pay child support is determined by the amount of time that each parent spends with the child. Typically, the custodial parent (the one whom the child spends the most time with) receives child support payments from the non-custodial parent. In some cases, the court might rule that both parents support the child.
The payment amount is based on a percentage of the non-custodial parent’s income. There are child support guidelines that help courts determine what is owed to the custodial parent each month. The law assumes that this money will be spent directly on the needs of the child.
How Is Child Support Determined in Texas?
A court order for child support may be challenged if either party thinks that the amount to be paid is unfair. You can present a case to the court that the payment should either increase or decrease.
The court will review a number of factors, including:
- The age of the child
- The needs of the child
- Childcare expenses
- Alimony payments
- Financial resources and debts
- The time the child spends with each parent
- Legal custody
- Education expenses
Understanding the Importance of Child Support Modifications
Child support agreements are not set in stone; they can and should be modified as circumstances change. Whether you experience a significant change in income, a job loss, or a shift in your child's needs, it's crucial to understand how these factors can impact your child support obligations. At the Law Office of Nancy Perry Eaton, PLLC, we are committed to ensuring that your child support arrangement remains fair and equitable for both parents and, most importantly, for your child.
Here are a few key reasons why you might consider seeking a modification:
- Change in Financial Circumstances: If you or the other parent has experienced a substantial increase or decrease in income, a modification may be warranted.
- Changes in Child's Needs: As children grow, their needs can change—whether that means increased medical expenses, educational costs, or other necessary support.
- Relocation: If either parent moves to a different state or city, the child support arrangement may need to be reassessed.
- Changes in Parenting Time: A shift in custody or visitation arrangements can also necessitate a review of child support obligations.
Our experienced attorneys can guide you through the modification process, ensuring that your rights are protected while prioritizing the best interests of your child. Contact us today to discuss your situation and explore your options for a child support modification.
