Understanding Child Support in Texas
In Texas, child support is determined by state guidelines, which consider factors such as income, number of children, and additional expenses. The basic child support calculation is as follows:
- 1 Child – 20% of the paying parent’s net income.
- 2 Children – 25% of the paying parent’s net income.
- 3 Children – 30% of the paying parent’s net income.
- 4 Children – 35% of the paying parent’s net income.
- 5+ Children – 40% or more of the paying parent’s net income.
These percentages may be adjusted based on the parent’s financial circumstances, additional obligations, and specific needs of the child.
