How much does a child custody lawyer make?

Generally, child custody attorneys choose a flat fee or an hourly rate. A typical flat fee for a child custody matter can be expected to range from $3,000 to $20,000. However, a low fee is not necessarily an indication of the quality of legal representation you will be receiving.

Can I sue for child support?

If a child support court order was in place before the minor turned eighteen years old, the custodial parent can sue the non-custodial parent. Alternatively, the adult child representing the estate of the custodial parent, can sue for back child support. It is important to note that in some states, other age restrictions may apply.

What is the phone number for child support?

There are some Child Support offices that are open by appointment only. Please call 855-823-4811 to see which Child Support offices are currently open and to make an appointment.

What is Texas law on child support?

Child support laws in Texas state that a person has standing to sue for the support of a disabled child/adult if they are the parent or individual who has physical custody or guardianship of the child/adult under a court order. Another way to have standing to sue for indefinite support is if the child/adult themselves, is 18 or over; does not have a mental disability, and if the court determines that the child/adult is capable of managing their own financial affairs.
