Guidelines for Children in More Than One Household
The laws and statutes regarding child support are complicated, and the laws surrounding children in more than household are even more so. Texas law dictates that the equations used to determine child support must be modified to reflect the nature of the multiple household obligations, and as such rely on complicated calculations to ensure that no child suffers.
Like other forms of child support, the financial responsibility of the obligated parent is calculated based on monthly net resources (usually up to $6000 per month) which reflects not only cash income, but other less tangible aspects such as health insurance, location, and transportation. Based on these calculations, the payor is required to contribute at least 20% of their net resources, depending on the amount of children per household.
