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 typically determined using the child support guidelines in the Family Code. The weighing factors include income, number of children, needs of the 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 payor is behind on payments, the court may issue an enforcement order.

From the first moment I met Mr. Pelley, he made me feel at ease. I was always updated, whether via mail or phone call of court dates and information concerning my case. He did a remarkable job and went above and beyond all my expectations. I wouldn’t have to think twice about recommending Mr. Pelley to represent any of my family members or closest friends.
