Austin Child Support Lawyer
In divorces involving children or suits affecting the parent child relationship, SAPCR's, child support must be established to provide for the needs of the children. Parents that pay child support and parents that receive child support are equally concerned that the amount paid is fair and adequately provides for the needs of the children. When child support has become an issue in your divorce or child custody dispute the Law Office of Ryan S. Dougay can help.
Child Support in Texas Divorces
Unfortunately, child support can become a contentious issue during divorce, spilling over into child custody and other divorce issues. Family resources must be stretched to pay for two households instead of one. It may be much more difficult for both spouses, but parents are obligated to provide for their children under Texas law. As your family law attorney, Ryan Dougay can help you to understand how your child support obligations will affect your divorce.
If you are a parent seeking to establish child support from an absent parent, The Law Office of Ryan S. Dougay can assist you, as well. As in all child support cases, we will need to gather information about the other parent, including evidence of current income and paternity. Contact us for more information about child support.
Change in Financial Circumstances
If your former spouse has stopped making child support payments, you may need to pursue enforcement of an existing child support order. If your income has been reduced and you can no longer meet your child support obligations, you may need to seek a modification of child support. If you can show that a substantial change in circumstances of the child or a parent has occurred since the child support order was established, you may be able to obtain a modification to your child support order. We can help you with these child support issues.
The Law Office of Ryan S. Dougay can assist you with any questions you have about your child support obligations. Contact an Austin, Texas child support lawyer today to discuss your case.
