Most people and many San Antonio attorneys think a divorce is quick, easy & something that signing a couple documents will take care of. When you have children, the divorce process becomes much more complicated. Parents have to ask themselves a couple questions

1. What is the best living situation for my kids
2. What type of financial support will be needed

4. Who will pay for college?
5. Can I Get Support Through College

Speak To ASan Antonio Child Support Lawyer About Texas Guidelines

In Texas, as in other states, the amount a parent will pay is largely defined by the Texas guidelines and the amount of time the child is in each parent's custody.

Judges do have some discretion to change the amount of the support order, however, especially when parents have considerable financial assets or when the child has significant needs. It is the role of your San Antonio child support lawyer to document for the court why there should be a deviation in the court ordered support. Texas Guidelines

Payments shouldn't be made directly from one parent to another, but through the Texas Attorney General's Office, and may also be made by employer wage deduction.

Sec. 154.007.  ORDER TO WITHHOLD FROM INCOME.  (a)  In a proceeding in which periodic payments are ordered, modified, or enforced, the court or Title IV-D agency shall order that income be withheld from the disposable earnings of the obligor as provided by Chapter 158. Wage Garnishment

Can File To Terminate support

Unless the circumstances of the child manifestly dictate otherwise and the court specifically so provides, the obligation of a parent to make payments shall terminate when the child:

Sec. 154.006.  TERMINATION OF DUTY OF SUPPORT.  (a)  Unless otherwise agreed in writing or expressly provided in the order or as provided by Subsection (b), the order terminates on:

1. the marriage of the child;
2. the removal of the child’s disabilities for general purposes

The stakes are simply too high. Allow me, a San Antonio child support attorney to bring your case forward. This will protect you should the other parent later claim that you did not pay.
