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.
