One of the more important aspects of a divorce case is establishing the obligation of one spouse to pay the other child support. In many cases, the amount of the monthly child support is easy enough to figure out under the Texas Child Support Guidelines. However, things are not always so simple. The court has the discretion to depart from the guidelines — to raise or lower the amount of the payment if a parent convinces the judge that a different figure makes better sense and better serves the interests of the child.
At the Plano, Texas, law office of DePlaza & O'Connor, we represent parents in Frisco and throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, helping protect their interests and the best interests of their children.
When we take your child support case, we can help you understand how much you may pay or receive, and we can take forceful action to make sure that amount is the right amount for you and your child.
We assist with many different matters related to Texas child support:
- Determination of child support in a paternity proceeding
- Determination of child support in a divorce
- Enforcement of an existing child support order
- Modification of an existing child support order
When Circumstances Change: Modification of Frisco Child Support Orders
If circumstances have changed and you are no longer able to pay child support — or are no longer receiving the child support to which you are entitled — it is important to see a lawyer as quickly as possible. An attorney can handle matters before things get out of control.
Matters can quickly become heated when a parent defaults on a child support obligation or when a parent withholds child custody and visitation because of non-payment of child support. These are never good situations. At DePlaza & O'Connor, we know the right actions to take in order to prevent them.
