Need To Know Divorce Issues

If I have been ordered by the court to pay child support to my ex-spouse and I become terminated from my job, does my child support stop automatically?

No. It is your duty to request that the court adjust your child support by modifying, reducing, or temporarily ending the child support payments until you have gotten a new job. Don’t just stop payments without taking further action first. For more information, contact a family law attorney in your area today.

Child Support in Texas
According to Texas law, either the mother or the father (or both parents) may be ordered by state courts to pay an adequate amount of payments to financially support a child. When calculating an amount for child support, many factors are taken into consideration by the courts. These considerations include the responsibility of both the mother and father to adequately provide for and support a minor child’s wellbeing in addition to the child’s necessity for a close relationship with both mother and father. Child support regulations are maintained and enforced by Texas law that determine the child support obligation.

Asset Division
After several contributing factors are taken into consideration by the courts, most assets are divided equally amongst both couples. However, this is only after these factors are taken into consideration (marriage duration, earning capacity of both parties, and much more) and does not include inherited assets or valuables that were given as a gift to just one party.

Alimony in Texas
Spousal support, also known as alimony and maintenance, can potentially be awarded to a spouse in financial need following a divorce. There are no specific laws that govern spousal support in Texas as each case is unique and is viewed as such, and many different factors are looked at during each and every divorce. Texas courts will look at the length of the marriage, how martial assets were distributed following a divorce, each party’s income or capacity to obtain employment, and many other things before making a final decision regarding spousal support. There are four different types of alimony that a party may be eligible to receive following a divorce.
