Child Support

Skillful and Dedicated Child Support Lawyer

Dallas-Fort Worth | Tarrant County | Collin County | North Texas

In Texas, the level of child support is determined by a variety of factors, such as the incomes of the parents and the amount of time the child lives with each parent, and any special educational or medical needs of the child. In most cases, the parent with primary custody receives child support from the other.

Our firm represents clients in all aspects of child support, including:

• Determination of the proper child support level
• Modifications in child support
• Enforcement of child support orders
• Paternity as it relates to child support

A Deep Knowledge of Child Support in Texas

Attorney Anne Turner Beletic has been board certified in family law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization since 1990. She is a former member of the Child Support Guidelines Advisory Committee, the Collaborative Law Institute, and a former member of Texas Family Law Practice Manual Revisions Committee, as well as a fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, the Texas Academy of Family Law Specialists, and a former member of the Texas Family Law Council.

Whether you are currently involved in the initial determination of child support or have concerns about an existing court order, Ms. Beletic can examine your situation and recommend the legal steps which need to be taken. If circumstances of changed significantly since your child support order, we may be able to obtain a modification to the child support level.

Special Child Support Situations

Although a formula in the statute provides the child support guideline, a judge does not necessarily have to follow it. If a child has special medical or education needs for example, the child support payment can be set at a level outside the guidelines.

In situations involving business owners or self-employed payers, the income figure on the tax return cannot be relied upon. Our firm can call upon forensic accountants and undertake discovery actions to obtain the true income level, for the purposes of determining the proper child support level.

The Law Office of Anne Turner Beletic can advise and represent you in these as well as more routine child support matters.
