Child Support and Family Law
Child support is normally determined by which parent has primary custody of a
child. Therefore, child support is a consequence of child custody. You may want
to review the facts on the child custody page, because in most cases, you cannot
receive child support unless you have legal custody of a child. The parent who
the child does not primarily reside with usually pays child support. This
payment is normally a monthly payment to the other parent for support of the
child. Many times circumstances change that make the initial child support in a
divorce decree or custody order too low, or too high, and changing the amount
becomes necessary to bring the support within the guidelines established by
Texas law. This does require going back to court in most cases.
These changes are very fact dependent, so a consultation with a family law
attorney is a good idea to determine whether you are receiving (or paying) the
correct amount of child support.
Some common problems people have with child support that Mr. Casteel deals with
are:
Support
payment is too high (paying parent makes less money now) -Support payment is
too
low (paying parent makes more money now).
Downward change in income for parent paying support.
Support going to parent with whom child no longer resides.
Paying parent is self-employed, and not paying enough.
Parent obligated to pay is not paying.
Support not in accordance with legal guidelines -Support collection does not
terminate
when child is eighteen. |
