Re: Child Support
25% is the guideline amount for two children. If by "business income" you mean gross, no, she can't get 25% of that. If you mean "net," then she can. Of course, it depends on how you calculate your net, too. The Family Code permits some deductions, not others, and you can expect a close look at the business books if there is any suggestion that the business is paying personal expenses.
