Child Custody and Child Support in Texas

Acting in the Best Interests of the Children

Are you experiencing conflict regarding child custody or child support in Texas? If so, there are tools available to help you resolve your issues. Whenever possible, we encourage couples to exhaust the relevant tools and turn to litigation as a last resort.

Co-parenting situations vary from one couple to the next. Perhaps from the outset, the issues involved with co-parenting were a source of conflict. Or, you arrived at a custody settlement during divorce, yet when putting the custody and support orders into practice, conflicts have arisen. We understand that co-parenting might not turn out to be as easy as you thought it would.

Helpful Tools to Settle Conflicts

Related to Child Custody or Child Support

We encourage clients to use the following tools, whenever appropriate, to see if they can resolve their issues. Of course, we are glad to discuss your particular situation and assess which tools might be the most helpful or whether some tools might not apply to your issues.

Tools

Co-parenting classes

Parenting classes educate parents about child development and reasonable expectations regarding their children. They also provide access to local resources and to other parents for encouragement and support.

 

Co-parenting coordinators
Parenting coordinators are impartial third parties, who can assist with disagreements by identifying problems and clearing up misunderstandings. Your matters are kept confidential when working with a parenting coordinator.
Co-parenting facilitators

Parenting facilitators also help parents work out disagreements and minimize conflict. However, they do not keep information confidential. In addition to reducing conflict, they also review protective orders, social studies and other pertinent records. They can also coordinate with other professionals, such as mental health, healthcare, social services, extended family or other individuals, as needed.

Custody evaluation

Custody evaluation enables courts, parents and attorneys to receive objective information and recommendations. An evaluator interviews the parents, children and other individuals living in the home.

Reunification therapy

This type of therapy can be helpful when parental alienation, estrangement or other inappropriate influences have resulted in a child not wanting to have contact with one of the parents.

Child therapy

As a result of divorce, children sometimes experience depression, academic difficulties and behavioral problems. Therapy can help them manage their emotions and improve their behavior and skills.

Child Support

Texas courts base child support on the parent’s monthly net income. For each child being supported, there is an additional percentage added to the child support calculation. The non-custodial parent typically pays child support.

Determining the parent’s income is often vital for resolving child support issues. Contested support may include investigating the matter to ensure the information is correct when assessing the support owed.

Modification & Enforcement

Perhaps you’ve had issues with child support or custody, but efforts to resolve your concerns are not working. If you have tried mediation but have hit an impasse, the litigation path of modification and enforcement is next step, and we do that.

We can advocate on your behalf to modify a court order or enter motions to have the court enforce an already existing order.

What Our Clients Say

Allen represented me in a highly contentious custody battle for my daughter and I completely credit him and his paralegal, Jade, for saving my family. My questions, emails and phone calls are always answered thoroughly and promptly. Allen and Jade actually care about their clients and it shows. If you’re looking for an attorney, I can’t recommend Allen enough. Choosing them to fight for the well-being of my daughter has proven to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
