How is child Support determined during a divorce?

When devising a child support arrangement during divorce proceedings, courts use a mathematical formula based on Texas state law guidelines. Based on the number of children, the formula applies a percentage of your monthly earnings to figure out what you will pay in child support. Currently, there is a cap of $8,550.

Child support will last until the child turns 18, except in circumstances where the child is determined to have significant disability.

In divorce proceedings, Texas percentage guidelines for support are as follows:

1 child: 20% of monthly earnings, maximum of $1,710
2 children: 25% of monthly earnings, maximum of $2,137.50
3 children: 30% of monthly earnings, maximum of $2,565
4 children: 35% of monthly earnings, maximum of $3,097.50
5 children: 40% of monthly earnings, maximum of $3,420
6 children or more: no less than 40% of monthly earnings

Although there is a set mathematical formula used for figuring out support payments, the amount paid may be increased or decreased based on the children's needs. In many circumstances, the support allocated during your divorce may not be adequate. If you need to increase or decrease payments, our qualified child support lawyer may be able to help you make a compelling case for a modification.
