Typically, the non-custodial parent gets the children on the first, third, and fifth weekends of the month, and parents split up the holidays.
In Texas, child support is clearly defined in the Texas Family Code. These guidelines provide that the custodial parent receives 20% of the net income of the non-custodial parent for one child, 25% for 2 children, and 30% for three children, 35% for four children, and 40% for five or more children. This child support can be deducted from the non-custodial parents paycheck.
No, Texas does not have the term alimony. In rare situations, one party may get Spousal Support for a period of time, but this is not the norm, and a person will only qualify for this if they cannot meet their minimal reasonable needs and lack sufficient earning ability.
