Child Support Attorney in Houston
Houston Child Support Services for Establishment, Modification, & Enforcement
Child support in Texas is not simply a figure reached through negotiation. It is calculated using a statutory formula tied to the paying parent's net monthly resources and the number of children being supported. For one child, the guideline amount is 20 percent of net resources; for two children, 25 percent; the percentage increases from there. While courts have discretion to deviate from the guidelines based on a child's specific needs or other relevant circumstances, this formula creates a baseline that both parents need to understand before entering any support proceeding or settlement discussion.
Law Office of Kristin Kline assists parents throughout Houston with child support matters at every stage, from establishing initial orders to seeking modifications when circumstances change to pursuing enforcement when support obligations go unpaid. Kristin Kline handles each case personally, providing direct communication and consistent guidance from the first consultation through final resolution.
Our firm serves clients in Houston, Katy, Spring, Harris County, and Fort Bend County, and offers payment plans to help keep quality legal representation within reach. Call (346) 421-0865 or contact us online to schedule a consultation with a child support attorney in Houston today.
When Child Support Orders Need to Change
Child support orders are not permanent fixtures. Texas law allows either parent to seek a modification when there has been a material and substantial change in circumstances, such as a significant shift in either parent's income, a change in the custody arrangement, or a change in the child's needs. A modification can also be requested if 3 years have passed since the current order was established and the support amount differs from the current guideline calculation by at least 20 percent or $100.
When a parent fails to pay court-ordered support, Texas law provides several avenues for enforcement, including wage withholding, interception of tax refunds, suspension of driver's and professional licenses, contempt proceedings, and, in serious cases, criminal action. Our firm can help parents who are owed unpaid support understand their options and pursue the most appropriate course of action.
Kristin Kline brings a candid, down-to-earth approach to every child support matter. The goal is not just to obtain an order; it is to help each client reach a resolution that reflects their actual circumstances and their child's genuine needs, with honest communication throughout the process.
Whether you are establishing, modifying, or enforcing a child support obligation, the right guidance can make a difference. Reach out by calling (346) 421-0865 or contact us online. Our child support attorney in Houston is ready to help.
