How Much is Child Support In Texas?

 Standard Child Support in Texas Guidelines. 


BASED ON THE MONTHLY NET RESOURCES OF THE OBLIGOR. 


1 child     =     20% of Obligor's Net Resources

2 children =   25% of Obligor's Net Resources

3 children =   30% of Obligor's Net Resources

4 children =   35% of Obligor's Net Resources

5 children  =  40% of Obligor's Net Resources

When does Child support End in Texas? 

Support for a child will continue until the child is 18 years of age or until graduation from high school, whichever occurs later; 


See The Monthly Child Support Calculator below. 


What Is Considered Income For Child Support?


Gross Resources (Income)


  • First, the courts will consider all wages, salaries, commissions, military pay, tips, overtime, and bonuses are all considered income for child support purposes. 
  • When a parent is unemployed, they still have income in the form of severance, retirement, unemployment benefits, and/or Social Security and Workers' Compensation. 
  • Gifts, prizes, and alimony are also included in income. 
  • If a parent receives income from a rental property, include the net rental income. 


 

Net resources (Income)


After calculating gross income, they deduct the following: 

  • Social Security taxes or any mandatory retirement plan contributions
  • Federal income tax (based on the tax rate for a single person claiming one exemption)
  • Union dues
  • Health insurance premiums and other medical expenses (Dental) for the child(ren) if the court ordered the responsible parent to pay these expenses.


The resulting figure is the parent's annual net income. Divide the net income by 12 to establish monthly net income. For a complete list of what to include and what to leave out, see Texas Family Code Section 154.062 (2020).


The calculator below will estimate your monthly child support payment based on Texas's child support guidelines.
