How Texas Child Support Is Calculated
Texas courts generally begin with statutory child-support guidelines based on the paying parent’s monthly net resources and the number of children being supported. Net resources are determined under Texas law and may include more than wages. Different rules may apply to low-income parents, parents supporting children in more than one household, and resources above the guideline limit. Courts may depart from the guidelines when supported by the facts and applicable law. Medical and dental support are also addressed. An individual assessment is needed to understand how the rules apply to your family.

Child Support Is For The Children — It Is Not A Form Of Alimony
Parties on both sides of the issue often confuse child support with spousal maintenance or alimony. Whether you are seeking child support from your ex-spouse, or are protecting yourself from paying more than your obligation, we will give you straight answers about what to expect. It may not be exactly what you hope to hear, but there will be no delusions, just clear expectations.
Child Support Enforcement
Child support is a court judgment. Failure to pay child support in a timely manner may be considered contempt of court. If you are having difficulty receiving child support payments from the noncustodial parent, you have the right to pursue legal collections actions. We can work with the officials in your county to help you recover the payments you are entitled to receive to support your children.
Child Support Cannot Be Tied To Your Visitation Rights
If you fall behind in your child support obligations, you do not lose your parenting rights. If the custodial parent of your child has denied you time with your children because of late support payments, we can help you enforce your rights.
Modifications
The courts understand that financial circumstances change in people’s lives. You are entitled to seek a modification of your original child support obligation if you can demonstrate a significant change in circumstances such as the loss of a job or health problems resulting in high medical bills.
Practice Areas
Webb Family Law Practice Areas
We work to resolve cases via negotiation, collaborative law, mediation and litigation. While most family law cases are settled out of court, we have the skill to take cases to trial when necessary. Our attorneys will protect your rights during every step of the case.
Divorce & Separation
Divorce is more than a legal process. It is a major transition involving your family, finances, home, and future. Webb Family Law helps clients navigate divorce with thoughtful strategy, clear communication, and steady guidance from the first conversation through resolution.
Custody & Parenting Plans
Custody matters require both legal strength and practical understanding. The right parenting plan should protect children, support stability, and reflect the realities of each family’s life.
Mediation & Dispute Resolution
Not every family law matter needs to become a courtroom battle. Mediation and collaborative law can give families a more private, constructive, and cost-conscious path toward resolution.
Complex Property Division
For professionals, business owners, executives, and families with significant assets, property division requires careful analysis and strategic planning. The outcome can affect income, business interests, real estate, retirement, investments, and long-term financial security.
Premarital & Postmarital Agreements
Strong agreements can create clarity before conflict begins. Premarital and postmarital agreements help couples define financial expectations, protect assets, and make informed decisions about the future.
Modifications & Enforcement
Life changes. Court orders sometimes need to change with it. When circumstances shift after divorce or custody orders are entered, Webb Family Law helps clients pursue modifications or enforce existing orders.
