How Child Support is Calculated in Texas
In Texas, child support is based on a percentage of the paying parent’s income. The court looks at the paying parent’s net resources - like wags, bonuses, commissions, self-employment income. From there, a percentage is applied based on how many children are being supported:
Number of Children
- 1 child
- 2 children
- 3 children
- 4 children
- 5 children
- 6 or more
Percentage of Net Resources
- 20%
- 25%
- 30%
- 35%
- 40%
- Not less than 40%
The court can adjust these amounts based on unique circumstances - like shared custody, medical needs, or other child-related expenses. If you have questions about how much you should pay or receive, we can help you understand what to expect and advocate for a fair outcome.
When Does Child Support End in Texas?
In most cases, child support in Texas ends when the child turns 18 or graduates from high school - whichever comes later. But there are exceptions. If the child has a disability that requires ongoing care, support may continue indefinitely.
It’s also important to note that child support doesn’t automatically stop - you may need to file paperwork to formally end the order. Our Longview, TX, family lawyers are here to walk you through the process and make sure everything’s handled correctly.
