Q: What is the law regarding child support in Texas?
A: Generally, child support is calculated using the Texas Child Support Guidelines. Child support is usually 20% of the obligor's (the party obligated to pay support) net income for one child, 25% for two children, 30% for three children, and up to a maximum of 40% regardless of the number of children. Courts usually require the obligor to also pay for the children's health insurance.
