Llano County Child Support Lawyer

Attorney Assisting with Child Support Disputes in Central Texas

One of the most difficult issues that parents have to deal with during divorce proceedings is child support payments. While some divorces are rather amicable and these decisions can be reached through mediation and mutual agreement, others are a messy situation that turn into a battle over financial matters. The child support rules in Texas are relatively easy to follow, and payments can be calculated using a mathematical process.

At the Law Office of Russ Alan Baker, PLLC, our Texas child support attorney has extensive experience in helping clients receive the fair amount of compensation that they require to support their children. With every situation being unique, our goal is to ensure that payments are calculated fairly and accurately, and your rights are protected.

Know the Law

The following are the standard guidelines that the court implements for child support:

• 20% of the paying parent's net resources for one child
• 25% of the paying parent's net resources for two children
• 30% of the paying parent's net resources for three children
• 35% of the paying parent's net resources for four children
• 40% of the paying parent's net resources for five children
• Not less than 40% of the paying parent's net resources for six or more children

Some of the factors that a family law court can use to deviate from the normal child support guidelines include:

• The age of the child
• Special needs and expenses for the child
• Income, assets, or resources of the parent
• Child care expenses
• Medical expenses
• Educational expenses
• Debt or other financial obligations of parents
• Lease, mortgage, or automobile payments
