Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
I currently pay child support for 2 children from a previous marriage. I have 2 more children with my current wife. Unfortunately it appears that marriage may be dissolving quickly. Can anyone in tell how my child support would be calculated in Texas for 4 kids but with 2 different mothers?

You pay each mother 20.63% of your net income (that's gross income minus taxes and the amount you pay for premiums for the health insurance you provide to the children) - a total of 41.26% of your net income.
This comes from section 154.129 of thet Texas Family Code.
