Child support obligations are a significant financial commitment for parents. In Texas, the amount of child support ordered by the court is based on various factors, including the parents’ incomes and the needs of the child. However, circumstances change and there may come a time when you need to seek a reduction in your child support payments. Here are some ways to determine if you are eligible for a modification in child support payments: a substantial change in income of the paying parent, changes in custody or visitation arrangements, and/or the child’s needs have changed significantly.
Child support medication suits can be extremely confusing and navigating the legal system alone may be challenging. With that said, consider seeking assistance from a qualified family law attorney who can help guide you through the process and advocate on your behalf in court. Taking into consideration a reduction in child support payments in Texas requires careful thought of the relevant legal principles and procedures. Gathering necessary documentation and seeking advice from an attorney will help ease your nerves and will help work towards a fair and reasonable arrangement that meets the needs of both parents and the child involved.
