The Texas guidelines are straightforward, but applying them correctly when income is variable or contested takes experience.

Guideline Support
​
Texas child support is calculated as a percentage of the obligor parent's net monthly resources, up to a statutory cap ($9,200/month as of 2023 guidelines). For most families, guideline support is the starting point — but it is rarely the end of the conversation.
​
High-Income Child Support
​
When a parent's income significantly exceeds the statutory cap, courts may award above-guideline support based on the child's proven needs and standard of living. Ryan Putz has experience arguing above-guideline support in Montgomery County courts, ensuring children of high-earning parents are not underserved by the guidelines.
​
Self-Employment and Variable Income
​
Business owners, contractors, commission earners, and professionals with variable pay often have income that is difficult to pin down. Ryan Putz works with financial experts when necessary to ensure that income is accurately determined — preventing understatement by obligors and protecting obligees from inflated calculations.
​
Medical Support
​
Child support orders in Texas include provisions for health insurance and allocation of uninsured medical expenses. Ryan Putz ensures these provisions are correctly drafted, clearly allocate responsibility, and are enforceable.
