Cedar Park, TX Child Support Lawyer
When a parent’s pay is more than a simple salary, child support gets complicated fast. SMB Law, PC helps Cedar Park families make sure bonuses, self-employment, and other income are counted the way Texas law intends. A skilled Cedar Park child support lawyer knows how to trace bonuses, commissions, and self-employment income that a guideline calculation can miss. Shane M. Boasberg has handled Central Texas support cases for more than twenty years and personally makes sure the number reflects true income.
Many Cedar Park households are tied to tech and small business, where income arrives as base pay plus bonuses, equity, or 1099 work — exactly the kind of income that is easy to under-report in a support calculation.
Where a Cedar Park child support case is handled
Cedar Park sits mostly in Williamson County, so a support case is generally filed with the Williamson County District Clerk in Georgetown. Because the city also touches Travis County, we confirm the correct venue for your address at the start.
What actually counts as ‘net resources’
The support percentage means little until you know what income it applies to. Texas defines net resources broadly: wages and salary, but also overtime, bonuses, commissions, self-employment income, rental income, interest, and more — minus a defined set of deductions. Parents who are paid partly in bonuses or run their own business often see a gap between what a pay stub shows and what the law counts, and self-employment deductions get real scrutiny. Establishing the true income figure — with tax returns, profit-and-loss records, and bank statements — is the heart of a Cedar Park support case.

Frequently asked questions
Do bonuses and overtime count for child support?
Yes. Texas net resources include wages, overtime, bonuses, commissions, and self-employment income, among other sources — not just base salary.
How is self-employment income handled?
It is counted after legitimate business expenses, which courts scrutinize closely. Tax returns, profit-and-loss statements, and bank records are used to establish the real figure.
Is a Cedar Park case filed in Williamson or Travis County?
Usually Williamson County in Georgetown, but because Cedar Park touches Travis County we confirm the correct venue for your address up front.
