Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
I am in Texas. Going through divorce. No papers filed yet. I just moved out.
We have two small girls. What is legally required of me to pay during "separation"? What would be expected of me to pay? Child care expenses?
1 Answer from Attorneys
You are not legally required to pay anything until a judge says you must. However, it is possible that your spouse may seek back child support. This would be 30% of your gross income after deducting certain expenses including, income taxes, social security, medicare premiums , union dues, health insurance (for the kids). If no papers are filed, I don't think she can seek back child support. After a divorce is filed, you spouse can seek temporary support.
Suggest you consult a family lawyer who practices in the county in which you reside.
