If the check must be payable to the custodial parent, please include the SDU as the co-payee. For example, please make the check payable to “custodial parent and/or the state SDU.” Sending payments electronically to state SDUs is another way to ensure payments arrive quickly and safely.
Unfortunately the likelihood of getting a Court to order a 50/50 possession schedule are slim. In my experience Judges tend to follow the Texas Family code and order a standard or extended standard possession schedule, It is your election. Typically you only get a 50/50 order if the other party agrees.
The Texas Cap on Child Support Payments Currently, the cap on monthly net resources is $9,200. This means that even if your net income exceeds this amount, child support will only be calculated based on $9,200. For example, if you have one child, the maximum child support you may owe is 20% of $9,200.
A: The disadvantages of 50-50 custody are that children have a less stable living environment and must frequently move between homes. It can be complicated for both parents and children to frequently switch between homes.
In Texas, child support is calculated based on specific guidelines that consider the non-custodial parent's income, the number of children supported, and any special circumstances. The calculation is based on the parent's monthly net resources, including wages, salaries, bonuses, and other income.
