Child Support

For most families, Texas child support guidelines will define the amount of financial support the custodial parent will receive in order to care for a child. However, families with considerable assets often find that state child support guidelines do not adequately capture their concerns.

Upper-income parents will want to address additional issues in their divorce agreement or child custody agreement in order to avoid conflict at a later date.

Dallas family law attorney Steven Wm. Buholz works with clients involved in child custody cases, paternity cases, or seeking to modify an existing child support order.

Drawing upon more than 30 years of family law experience, Mr. Buholz helps parents consider all the factors involved in raising a child. A careful and thorough review of the parents' plans for their child's future can prevent conflict and confusion at a later date.

Financial Issues to Consider

Child support can include more than simply day-to-day living expenses. The court can consider increasing support based upon the needs of the child, including:

• the age and needs of the child
• the ability of the parents to contribute to the support of the child
• the amount of time of possession of and access to a child
• child care costs uncured by either party in order to maintain gainful employment
• the amount of alimony or spousal maintenance actually and currently being paid or received by a party
• the expenses for a son or daughter for education beyond secondary school
• special or extraordinary educational, health care, or other expenses of the parties or of the child
• the cost of travel in order to exercise possession of and access to a child

At the Law Office of Steven Wm. Buholz, we empower our clients to build successful relationships with their families after divorce by helping them secure the financial resources they need for themselves and their children.
