Kingwood , Texas Child Support Attorney
Family Law Attorney Advises on Child Support
In Texas child support is determined through state guidelines. Many parents going through divorce are able to calculate in advance what amount of child support will be paid by a non-custodial parent to a custodial parent by plugging income numbers into a child support calculator. The percentage of income that must be paid in child support is assumed by family law courts to be applicable in most cases.Contact the law offices of H. Steven Byers, Attorney at Law & Mediator, to discuss child support and child custody orders that will be a necessary part of your divorce decree if you and the other parent are married to each other. Child support and child custody should also be determined through family law courts in cases where the parents are not married to each other.
Does Your Child Have Special Needs?
As with most legal matters, child support is not always a black and white matter. A child with special needs may need more support from the non-custodial parent than does a healthy child.- Is your child autistic, in need of ongoing therapy and special education?
- Does your child have a learning disability?
- Has your child been diagnosed with ADHD?
- Does your child need braces?
- Does your child possess some outstanding talent or ability that requires financial support?
The Advantages of Working with an Experienced Child Support Lawyer
An astute, experienced family law attorney such as H. Steven Byers is very familiar with challenges involving child support:- Beware the paying parent who deliberately demotes himself or herself to a low-paying job in an attempt to be held responsible for lower amounts of child support. Judges are not fooled when a well-educated person is voluntarily flipping burgers for a living during divorce negotiations. Child support will be calculated based on what the non-custodial parent is capable of earning - not what he or she happens to be making at the time of the court decree.
- Are you and the other parent going to share custody? Talk to a lawyer to learn how this will or will not affect the amount of child support you will be asked to pay or that you should receive.
- Have your financial circumstances changed substantially? A modification of child support may be necessary.
- Is the child support-paying parent failing to make payments on time, or at all? Attorney H. Steven Byers can help you seek an enforcement.
- Does the identity of the father need to be legally established? Attorney H. Steven Byers can help you pursue a parentage action.
