Experienced Dallas Child Support Lawyers

What is Child Support?

Texas law requires that the parent with whom the child lives (known as the "custodial parent") receive monetary support from the other parent. In fact, Texas has a guideline support table in place to take most of the negotiating away. But problems arise when the supporting parent does not tell the truth about his or her income or job status or fails to pay court-ordered child support.

Our Dallas child support attorneys deal with these issues on a regular basis. The experienced attorneys here at Garza Law Firm can fight for your rights and help ensure that your child gets the full amount of support that he or she is entitled to under the law.

How Does the Court Determine Child Support in Texas?

The Texas Office of the Attorney General provides an online calculator to give parents a way to estimate child support payments. If the calculated rate is higher or lower than the court-ordered monthly support obligation by 20% or more, there may be a case to modify the order.

The factors that go into child support calculations include:

• The number of minor children to support
• Hours worked per week and hourly wage rate or salary amount and salary pay period
• Whether the supporting parent is self-employed
• The monthly premium amount for any health insurance provided for your children

Texas Child Support Modifications

If you believe your child’s other parent did not disclose the full truth of his or her finances to the court when the support order was made, we can help you uncover the truth. Additionally, if there’s been a change in the supporting parent’s work situation, we can help get the order modified appropriately.
