What is Child Support in Texas?
Child support is money to help cover the child’s basic
needs. One or both parents can pay child
support. Texas’s child support guidelines are a minimum (not a maximum)
standard of support that the State “presumes” is in a child’s best
interest. Some parents accept the
guideline amount simply to avoid conflict or because the amount works for them. However, many parents do not believe it is appropriate
to provide only a minimum standard amount of money for the care and needs of
their children. The child support
guideline amount for most families is not nearly enough to cover expenses of
education, extracurricular activities, tutoring, lessons, sports, braces, cars,
gas, etc.
