Child Support Attorneys
Collin County Texas Child Support Law
25 years combined experience in the development of legally sound and equitable Texas child support agreements
Each Texas child support attorney at the Allen offices of WR is experienced in addressing the legal issues that arise when collecting or defending against collection of child support payments. Texas bases a non-custodial parent's child support on that parent's income. Although these guidelines are minimums for child support, the courts regularly follow them with few variances. When jobs are lost children come to live with a non-custodial parent, or other circumstances change, a modification of the child support order is often sought.
DEPENDENCY EXEMPTION
The custodial parent generally retains this exemption except where mutually agreed upon by both parties and the court.
DAY CARE EXPENSES
Childcare expenses are generally paid for by the custodial parent, although some courts have instituted a policy of payment by the non-custodial parent in addition to regular child support payments.
HEALTH INSURANCE
If the non-custodial parent has insurance available through an employer and agrees to provide coverage to the child, then they may deduct this cost before income is evaluated for child support.
NON-PAYMENT / ENFORCEMENT OF DECREES
Our offices are able to respond swiftly and decisively to emergency situations requiring modification or enforcement of child support.
Our Texas Child support lawyers at WR advocate the use of negotiated or mediated settlements as an alternative to litigation in the courts. These agreements allow greater flexibility for both parties and generally save time and money while avoiding the acrimony and hurt feelings that often result from a court-mandated decision.
