How do I modify (change) my child support payments in Texas?
Texas law allows a change up or down in the amount of
child support when the parents agree to the change, or when circumstances have
materially and substantially changed.
For example, a material and substantial change could be a major shift in
parenting time where the parent who was paying child support becomes the primary
caregiver. Other changes are when a parent gets a better job or loses a job (so
long as the unemployment or underemployment is not intentional), becomes ill or
recovers from illness, or enters or gets released from prison. A child’s illness, disability (or recovery
from disability), or need for special education may be circumstances warranting
a change in the child support amount.
