San Antonio Child Support Lawyers
Helping Families in Bexar, Kendall, Guadalupe, Medina, Wilson, and Comal Counties
In Texas, both parents are legally obligated to provide financial support to their children. If you are the child’s primary custodial parent, the other parent (the non-custodial parent) must send you child support payments for the care of your child. There are many issues that can arise in a child support case, and Marvel Law Group handles child support disputes including:
- Collecting past due child support
- Reviewing child support
- Modifying child support
Schedule an initial consultation with Marvel Law Group online to learn more. The firm represents both custodial and non-custodial parents.
Calculating Child Support
The amount of child support a parent will have to pay depends on the obligor (paying parent) monthly disposable resources, which is not the same as net monthly income. The obligor also provides medical and dental support for the child, or reimburses the other parent for the premium. If the parent is unemployed, their income will be calculated from Social Security awards, workers’ compensation, unemployment benefits, and even rental income. Child support in Texas terminates when the child turns 18 years old or when they graduate high school, whichever is later.
Collecting Child Support
It is never too late to collect your past due child support. Marvel Law Group specializes in collecting past due support for the parents of children in their 20's, 30's, and even 40's. If they miss payments, you have the right to take legal action for enforcement and collection.
Marvel Law Group has a team of collection specialists and investigators, making the firm one of the top collection firms in the state. There are unique remedies available in child support collection to secure assets and payments.
