How is child custody decided in Texas family court?
Texas courts decide custody based on the best interest of the child. The standard possession order gives one parent the right to have the child on specific weekends, holidays, and summers, but courts can modify this based on the family situation.
What factors affect child support amounts in Texas?
Texas uses a percentage of the non-custodial parent net income to calculate child support. For one child, support is 20 percent of net income. For two children, it is 25 percent. The court may adjust for special needs or other circumstances.
