Plano and Sherman Child Support Attorneys
Texas Child Support Guidelines
After a marriage or relationship has ended, parents face determinations on how their children's financial needs will be met. Child support is a payment made to the parent with primary custody by the other parent.

Child Support Calculator
In Texas, child support payments are determined using the child support calculator. The weighing factors include income, number of children, needs of children, and more.
At Pelley Law Office, L.L.P. we can help you understand the formula used to determine the amount of child support. We will ensure that accurate financial information is provided as well as information about your child's needs. Our goal is always to work in the best interests of your child.
Child Support Modifications
Just as initial child support payments are determined by a formula, any time a parent's financial situation changes, a modification to child support may be necessary. Texas courts will consider a child support modification if:
- Either parent has a job loss
- Either parent changes jobs
- Financial needs of child change
- Child reaches age 18
A modification may not be granted if a parent stops working voluntarily.
In addition to modifications, our law firm can assist you with child support enforcements. If you are not receiving child support, or the payee is behind on payments, the court may issue an enforcement.
