Child Support

In a typical child custody arrangement, one parent pays child support to the other parent, and the amount of the child support is based upon our Texas Family Code’s statutory guidelines for the calculation of child support.

The amount reflected in a court order may be the amount that is in place for several years, so it is important that you receive competent representation in addressing any child support matter. There are various rules regarding child support matters including ceilings on the amount, what resources can be included in calculating a person’s “net resources” which is the amount utilized to determine “guideline” child support, circumstances necessitating a need for “non-guideline” child support, and more.

The lawyers at Briner Family Law Group, are highly experienced at evaluating all facts relating to the calculation of support, obtaining retroactive child support, establishing paternity for obtaining child support, situations giving rise to a case for non-guideline child support, and in both pursuing and defending against a request for non-guideline child support.

What our clients are saying

“A divorce is an overwhelming stress and one where an attorney can make the process easier or more cumbersome. Thank you to Marie for focusing on my needs, both economically and emotionally. I learned so much about myself during this time and Marie was there to help guide me. Marie’s ability to see the big picture, while focusing on the details, has given me a wonderful lifestyle post divorce. Thank you Marie.”

“You never know what life is going to throw at you. When things seem to be falling apart, the greatest comfort is having someone you trust carry you through the tough times. Your expertise in the law, and in psychology and human behavior, gave me a sense of peace that things would be resolved in the best way – for me, and for my children. Now that we’re on the other side of our transition, I feel truly privileged to have had someone like you on my side. You are tough, compassionate, smart, and reasonable… and our outcome really represents the best situation for everyone involved. Thank you!

“Thank you so much for all your guidance during the worst time of my life. Our case was very complicated and involved and if it wasn’t for you, I would have gone off the deep end. Your calm approach, your knowledge with every issue and your professional demeanor really kept me focused on the issues at hand. Hats off to your staff for being so patient and kind each and every time I dealt with them. I send you my biggest and sincerest THANK YOU!”

“Not only did you guide me through the process with your legal skill, knowledge and experience, you remembered the names of our four kids the entire way through the case!  Marie, you were not just a lawyer – you cared about my kids, my legal position, and making sure that my kids and I were taken care of as much as you could.  Thanks so much!”

“Thank you for empowering my Mom during such a difficult transition. You took her by the hand, while she was learning to walk on her own. A year later, she is a much stronger woman now than she was during her marriage. Your advice and guidance has enabled her to stand on her own. Thank you.”

I was so amazed with your remarkable support, warmth, courage and defense. You are totally brilliant…. I will never forget all your hard work and dedication.”
