Round Rock, TX Child Support Lawyer

Child support in Texas is not a guess or a negotiation from scratch — it starts from a formula. If you are setting up or responding to a support order in Round Rock, SMB Law, PC makes sure the numbers are calculated correctly and that the order reflects what the law actually requires.

Many Round Rock parents are surprised to learn how mechanical the starting point is: Texas ties guideline support to a percentage of the paying parent’s income, and getting that income figure right is where most of the real work lives.

Where a Round Rock child support case is handled

Round Rock sits primarily in Williamson County, so a child support suit is filed with the Williamson County District Clerk at the Justice Center in Georgetown. Many support matters are also handled through the state child support system, but the county court is where a contested order is decided.

How guideline child support is calculated

Texas sets guideline support as a percentage of the paying parent’s monthly net resources: 20% for one child, 25% for two, 30% for three, and 35% for four, with more for additional children. ‘Net resources’ is not simply take-home pay — it is nearly all income minus specific deductions like Social Security tax, federal income tax for a single filer, and the cost of the child’s health insurance. Because the percentage is fixed, the entire dispute usually comes down to proving the correct income figure, and that is where careful lawyering changes the result.
