Texas Child Support Guidelines

Base Obligation: Combine incomes look up base amount on state schedule based on combined income and number of children. Amount prorated between parents based on income percentage.

Additional Costs: Add health insurance premiums covering child, work-related childcare costs, extraordinary medical expenses. Prorate by income share.

Custody Adjustment: Shared parenting time may reduce obligation accounting for direct expenses during custody. Threshold varies by state.

Duration of Support

Modification

Enforcement
