Few things are as hotly contested between parents who don’t live together as the matter of child support. Most parents can agree that having child support betters their child’s life and ensures that all their needs and wants are met, but often, bad blood between a child’s parents affects their willingness to cooperate on child support. Whether you are the paying parent or the recipient, our Lakeway, TX child support lawyer can help ensure that you’re treated fairly by the family courts and that decisions are made in your child’s best interest. For a compassionate, confidential consultation, call Gray Becker, P.C. today.
Child Support Lawyer Lakeway, TX
Are you struggling to get child support from your child’s other parent and need to take legal action? As the custodial parent, you have the right to financial support to help you care for your child. Our Lakeway child support lawyer helps you secure fair support.
Child support is intended to help the parent with primary physical custody ensure that the child’s needs are met, including providing safe housing, nutritious food, and appropriate clothing. While most people agree that when two people share a child, it’s their joint responsibility to care for the child, this doesn’t always mean that child support petitions go off without a hitch. In many cases, there is so much bitterness or bad blood between the child’s parents that they cannot amicably agree to a child support arrangement.
Texas law sets specific requirements for the non-custodial parent to support their child, and takes failure to do so very seriously. If you have an existing order and the paying parent is not following it, we swiftly take action on your behalf.
We can also help modify an existing child’s support order. Life changes, and one parent’s financial circumstances may significantly change. If the paying parent receives a significant pay increase, we can petition the county family law court to adjust your monthly support amount accordingly. Or, if your material circumstances take a downturn, or if your child develops a medical condition and needs additional financial contributions from the other parent, we can help you in these situations, too.
We know how much your child means to you, and we’re here to help you. Our firm handles all the legal matters necessary to establish and enforce the support order, including communicating with the other parent on your behalf and representing you in court.
