Child support issue
Hello ****, I understand you're dealing with a child support issue. Could you please let me know which state you're in? This will help me provide more accurate information.

Hello ****, in Texas, child support is calculated based on the non-custodial parent's net resources and the number of children involved. For instance:
- * child: *% of net resources
- * children: *% of net resources
- * children: *% of net resources
This is a general guideline and the court may adjust depending on the circumstances.
So I moved in with my mom 2 years ago and the attorney general put the child support on hold my dad reinstated the child support even tho I don’t live with him
Hello ****,
In Texas, the parent with whom the child lives (custodial parent) usually receives child support from the other parent (non-custodial parent). If you're living with your mom, she would generally be the one to receive child support. You may want to consult with a local attorney or contact the Texas Attorney General's office for further assistance.
My fathers lawyers made sure to push the case back enough to where we couldn’t get him on child support
Hi ****,
Delaying proceedings is a common tactic. However, child support obligations in Texas usually start from the date the lawsuit was filed. Therefore, you might be entitled to retroactive child support. Consult with a local attorney for specifics.
