A child support order is about more than a monthly check. In Georgetown, SMB Law, PC makes sure the order also handles the piece parents most often overlook: who covers the children’s medical and dental costs. An experienced Georgetown child support lawyer makes sure medical support and uninsured-cost splits are spelled out, not left to argue about later. Shane has guided Central Texas families for over two decades and handles each support order personally.
As the Williamson County seat, Georgetown is where these orders are entered — and we routinely see decrees that nail the base support number but leave health coverage vague, which causes fights later.
Where a Georgetown child support case is handled
Georgetown is the Williamson County seat, so a child support case is filed and heard at the Williamson County Justice Center on Martin Luther King Jr. Street, right in town.
Medical and dental support come on top of the base amount
In Texas, medical support and dental support are ordered in addition to guideline child support, not as part of it. The order must say who provides the children’s health and dental insurance and how the premium and uninsured costs are split. When one parent carries the insurance, its cost is factored into the net-resources calculation; when neither does, the court decides who must obtain it. Getting this spelled out precisely is what keeps a Georgetown order from unraveling the first time a child needs braces or an emergency-room visit.

Frequently asked questions
Is medical support part of child support in Texas?
No — medical and dental support are ordered on top of the base guideline amount. The order specifies who insures the children and how uninsured costs are divided.
Who pays for the children’s health insurance?
Usually the parent who can obtain reasonable-cost coverage; that premium is then factored into the support calculation. If neither parent has access, the court decides.
