Frisco Child Support Lawyer

Children can deliver us with such joy and such pain with one blow. An attorney who fights for children should understand this, and at Alexander & Associates, we do! Children should be protected, the rights of parents should be understood and the voice of both parents should be heard, for what they are. At Alexander & Associates we believe that your voice, your concerns and your experiences should be heard by the Court before the Court rules on the most important decision in your life and the life of your child. We work hard to uncover the truth. We will subpoena medical records, school records, police reports, employment history, bank accounts, whatever it takes to get you heard. We listen to you when you talk and we want the Court to do the same. The Court hears cases day in and day out. We want the Judge to remember you because you had the evidence to back up your testimony. We work as a team. We listen to what you have to say and then as a team decide how best to gather and present that evidence in trial. No matter your budget, we can find a way to have you heard.

• Number of children before the Court
• Number of children for which the non-custodial parent is legally obligated to support
• Gross income of the non-custodial parent
• Health insurance costs paid by the non-custodial parent
• Special needs of the child (medical)

Most of the time, the Court will order the amount of child support calculated by the Code (the presumed amount), but the parties can change the presumed amount by agreement, or the Court may find that the presumed amount is unjust or inappropriate and order a different amount. In order for the Court to change the child support amount from the presumed amount, the court must consider all relevant factors, including statutory and other factors.

Child support terminates, generally, when the child dies, marries, enters active military duty, reaches the age of 18 or is enrolled in and attending high school whichever comes later, the parents remarry, or the child is otherwise emancipated. Termination of future child support does not terminate any liability for past due child support.
