In Texas, child support is generally determined using statutory guidelines set by the state. These guidelines look primarily at the paying parent’s net monthly income, including:
The state then applies a percentage based on the number of children requiring support. For example, one child might result in a guideline percentage of 20% of net income, while two children could increase that percentage.
However, child support is not always a one-size-fits-all calculation. Courts can and do deviate from these guidelines in certain circumstances. This may happen when a child has extraordinary medical or educational needs, when the parents have an unusual custody arrangement, or when one parent has a much higher income than the guidelines account for.
Judges may also consider additional factors, such as daycare expenses, extracurricular activities, and whether a parent has other children to support.
Very good attorney she did the impossible for me to get my charges dismissed I had got charges for something I didn’t do and she was able to prove my innocence...
She was appointed to me for a trespassing ticket and she went above and beyond the normal duties for a lawyer...
Attorney Nava was extremely professional & dedicated to me as a client. She was able to get both my cases dismissed in a timely manner...
I was at the wrong place at the wrong time that lead to a very hard case and needing a lawyer ASAP! This is my first time being represented by Alyssa Nava and my experience was a BLESSING!
Awesome! Great service, straight to the point. Highly recommend. Thanks Ms. Nava
I can't even begin to tell you how much of a blessing it was to be introduced to Alyssa, she was extremely attentive and genuinely concerned for me and my case...

Common reasons for seeking a modification include:
