Child Support

Dallas, Texas, Child Support Attorneys

The child support attorneys at The Williamson Group, P.C. in Dallas, Texas, have experience in child support cases and a thorough knowledge of Texas child support guidelines. That knowledge and experience can benefit you if you are seeking help in a child support matter.

If you are the non-custodial parent of a child under the age of 18 or of a child who is over the age of 18, but is a full-time student or disabled, you are responsible for providing a portion of your income to support your child. State guidelines establish the amount, but there are exceptions to those guidelines. Deviation from the guidelines can be based on educational needs, additional children supported by the non-custodial parent, and other issues related to extraordinary expenses and special circumstances.

Guidance for Sensitive Legal Issues

Child custody can be an emotionally charged issue, while child support and other divorce-related matters that involve money can also become contentious. The best interests of the child must always remain the primary focus. At The Williamson Group, P.C., our lawyers share that approach and seek to resolve support disputes through mediation. Our child support attorneys seek to mediate disputes over the amount of support. However, if litigation is necessary, we are dedicated to aggressively representing you in court.

Violations of Child Support Orders

Violating court-ordered child support will put you in contempt of court and may result in consequences such as paying legal fees or even a jail sentence. You have a right to legal representation. Our child support attorneys have aggressively defended clients faced with contempt charges. If your ex-spouse has filed the complaint, he or she has the burden of proof to show that you indeed violated the child support order.
