How Child Support Works in Texas: A Clear Guide
Navigating child support can be confusing, but it’s based on a clear set of rules. As your Houston child support lawyer, we make sure you understand the key factors.
- The Calculation: The state of Texas provides child support guidelines to determine payment amounts. The calculation is primarily based on a percentage of the paying parent’s net monthly income and the number of children involved.
- What’s Included: Child support is designed to cover a child’s essential needs, including housing, food, and clothing. Critically, it also includes provisions for health insurance and medical expenses to ensure your child’s well-being.
- Duration of Support: Generally, the obligation for child support in Texas continues until the child turns 18 or graduates from high school, whichever occurs later.

Your Questions Answered
Q: What happens if I don’t pay child support in Houston?
A: Failing to pay can have severe consequences, including wage garnishment, driver’s license suspension, liens on property, and even jail time for contempt of court. It is crucial to address any issues with payment legally.
Q: Can I change my child support order in Texas?
A: Yes. Suppose there has been a “material and substantial change” in circumstances for either the parents or the child (such as a job loss or promotion). In that case, you can petition the court to modify the order.
Q: How is child support calculated in Texas?
A: The court takes the paying parent’s average monthly net resources and applies a percentage based on the number of children. For one child, it’s 20%; for two, it’s 25%, and so on. It can be adjusted for other factors, which is why having an attorney is so important.
Q: What does a child support lawyer do that I can’t do myself?
A: An experienced lawyer ensures all income is calculated correctly, presents the strongest case for any deviations from the guidelines, handles all complex legal paperwork, and represents you forcefully in court, protecting you from an unfair outcome.
Q: How long does child support last in Texas?
A: Typically, support continues until the child is 18 or graduates from high school, whichever is later. It can be extended indefinitely if the child has a qualifying disability.
