Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Child Support Amount

I live in Texas and was awarded $2,200.00 in monthly child support. The children's father earns over $500,000 per year. I thought the cap on child support in Texas is $1,800.00 per month but someone I met said that they should have taken 25% of his earnings as child support and that I should be receiving more in child support than I am. Can I apply for a modification in child support or just cut my loses (if they are indeed loses)? What is the usual outcome in applying for increase in child support in Texas?

Re: Child Support Amount

Generally, depending upon the specific circumstances, you may request the court order a modification of the child support amount. The funds received should be used for the best interest of the child.
