Frequently Asked Questions
-
How much is child support if it is ordered?Texas uses a specific formula to determine the amount of child support. It is based on a parent's gross income and the number of children that the parent has. The possession schedule has no bearing on child support, nor does the recipient spouse's income. That is because child support is the right of the child and not the other parent. It is important to remember that the formula is merely a guideline.
-
What are the factors a court considers when determining spousal support?The overriding principle is the needs of the recipient party balanced with the ability of the other spouse's ability to pay. There is no exhaustive list for a judge to use, but they should consider the financial situation of both spouses, the contribution of each spouse to the marriage (including whether or not one party sacrificed their career to raise children), the age, employment history, education, health and earning capacity of the spouse requesting support, spousal violence, and any fault in the break-up of the marriage.
-
What is the Standard Possession Order?This is the default schedule that courts use when determining a visitation schedule. It’s a great place for couples to start if they’d like to customize their own schedule. The non-primary parent will get the children every first, third and fifth Friday of the month until the following Sunday. They will usually get a midweek period of possession, Thursday, and it can be overnight. The couples will swap holidays. The parent who gets Thanksgiving will not get Christmas, but this will alternate every year. Finally, the non-primary conservator usually gets the whole month of July, although there are some variations to this schedule.
