Child Support

Graham Family Law > San Antonio Child Custody Lawyers Who Are Defending Your Family Bonds > Child Support

Raising A Child Is Expensive

Everyone agrees that raising a child is expensive. Child support is designed to make certain both parents contribute financially to a child’s upbringing. In Texas, there are child support guidelines in place that leave little room for dispute over the amount of child support payments, as long as they are followed correctly.  In addition, we believe child custody agreements should be reflective of child support obligations.

HOW CHILD SUPPORT GUIDELINES WORK

Child support guidelines require consideration of a variety of factors. Of course, a parent’s income serves as a primary factor. The nature of child custody arrangements also plays a role. At first glance, calculating child support seems simple: just follow the guidelines, input the correct numbers, and receive a payment amount. However, a formula works effectively only when the numbers entered are accurate. That is why it is important to have a trusted lawyer assist with the calculation to ensure that nothing gets overlooked.

At Graham Family Law in San Antonio, we understand which income sources to consider (and which to disregard) when calculating child support payments.

In some cases, one parent may attempt to hide income, or it is possible that someone may simply overlook certain income. When one parent owns a business and the income depends on that ownership, obtaining an accurate number can become more complex. Our attorneys know how to navigate these situations.

The child support guidelines do not apply to all circumstances. If one or both spouses earn a high income or if the child has unique needs, strong justifications can exist for deviating from the guidelines to reach a truly fair outcome for the child. We recognize when such deviation is appropriate.

With over 100 years of combined family law experience, we handle divorce and paternity cases involving child support payments. We also assist with modification and enforcement. We have helped thousands of clients achieve favorable outcomes in their child support cases. But don’t just take our word for it; see our reviews on our Google business page
