Re: percentage of income given as child support
Basically, it would be 25% of a person's net resources as the State of Texas defines them.
If the non custodial parent has other minor children, then the 25% would be reduced depending on the number of other children.
You can read the Texas Family Code on line.
Give me a call if you have any other questions.
