Determining Child Support
In Texas, mandatory state guidelines are used to determine the amount of support. The legislature provides a formula that is based on net resources. As experienced child support attorneys, we are familiar with the difficulties that can arise when determining child support. For example, one parent may not be forthcoming regarding income. Perhaps that person is self-employed, an independent contractor or takes advantage of write-offs as a business owner. Sometimes, the net resources a person actually has are not being disclosed.
Our attorneys can determine the other party's actual earnings. When necessary, we can subpoena bank records and other statements to determine the actual earnings and resources.
