Child Support
Austin, Texas Child Support Lawyers
Children are a joy and a responsibility. All parents have a legal obligation to provide support for their children. If the parents aren't married, that means that the non-custodial parent will make child support payments to the custodial parent.
At the Law Office of Tim Whitten, we help clients from families of all backgrounds handle child support issues. Austin attorney Tim Whitten has practiced family law since 1992 and is a certified Family Law Specialist under the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.
We represent clients from families of all backgrounds. We provide personal, honest and experienced service, listen to your story and work hard to achieve your goals. To schedule an appointment, call us today at 512.782.2289 or contact us online.
Calculating Child Support Payments
How much will you pay or receive in child support? Texas family law statutes set forth a formula used for calculating payments. The formula takes various factors into account, including:
- Both parents' incomes
- The child custody arrangement
- Health care expenses
If your case is resolved in court, there will be little room to make deviations from this process. But you can also create a child support arrangement using techniques such as collaborative law, allowing greater freedom to exercise creativity and come up with a solution that better fits your unique circumstances.
At the Law Office of Tim Whitten, we work to develop child support arrangements that meet our clients' goals and help families maintain civil, respectful relationships even after divorce.
