In Texas, parents have a duty to support their children. Some parents support their children by paying day-to-day expenses, like daycare services and school lunches.  However, after divorce or separation from a dating relationship, one parent will usually be ordered to pay a specific amount of child support directly to the other parent or conservator.

The attorneys at the Austin-based Milner Law Firm work diligently for their clients to assist them in getting child support set at an amount that is appropriate given their client's circumstances. Our firm's child support attorneys also assist in the modification of child support orders due to the changed circumstances of either party or the child when the amount of child support is either set too high or too low.

Like other family law-related matters, child support can be set without the need for court hearings and trials through mediation, arbitration, and the collaborative law process. These options are often less expensive than going to court.

Of course, our attorneys also recognize that sometimes going to court and getting in front of a judge is the only way child support and other family law-related matters will be resolved. In such situations, our lawyers have the experience necessary to strongly advocate for our clients in the courtroom.
