  2. If you have two children it will be twenty five percent of your net income, for child support.

 Child support in Texas and the payment for child support is only based upon the paying parent’s income.  Child support can be modified at any time in Texas; it can be modified due to change in health and change of job and income, and modified to match those needs.  Child support in Texas is paid until the child reaches legal age, or graduates high school. Information on child custody in Texas.  The courts in Texas make the decision on the child custody, on what is best for the child if the parents are not in agreement for it; here is how the courts make their decision on child custody. 
  1. The courts will look at the relationship is between the children and that parent.
  2. If there has ever been any evidence of child abuse.
  3. The overall health of the parent and mental health of the parents, and how close they live to each other for a joint custody.
  4. The overall happiness and safety of the child.
