Child Support
Getting Child Support Right
Texas child support follows statutory guidelines, but the details — what counts as income, how self-employment is treated, and who pays for health insurance — can make a significant difference over the life of an order.
Whether you are the parent paying or receiving support, we make sure the numbers are accurate, the order is enforceable, and your child’s needs are met.
Texas Child Support Guidelines
Guideline support is a percentage of the paying parent’s monthly net resources, based on the number of children.
| Children | Guideline Percentage of Net Resources |
|---|---|
| 1 child | 20% |
| 2 children | 25% |
| 3 children | 30% |
| 4 children | 35% |
| 5 or more children | Not less than 40% |
Guidelines apply to monthly net resources up to the statutory cap (currently $11,700). Medical and dental support are ordered in addition to guideline support. Courts may deviate based on the child’s needs.
