Family Forum / Parenting / Parenting / March 2007Texas SB 304 - if obligor net income less than 2K per month, ok to chg 100%
This prposed bill of the Texas Senate would allow the following: CHILD SUPPORT GUIDELINES BASED ON THE MONTHLY NET RESOURCES OF THE OBLIGOR 1 child 20% of Obligor's Net Resources 2 children 25% of Obligor's Net Resources 3 children 30% of Obligor's Net Resources 4 children 35% of Obligor's Net Resources 5 children 40% of Obligor's Net Resources 6+ children Not less than the amount for 5 children (c) If the obligor's monthly net resources are less than $2,000, the court may order, after application of the guidelines, additional amounts of child support as appropriate, based on the income of each of the parties and the proven needs of the child, except that the obligor may not be required to pay an additional amount of child support that is more than the greater of the presumptive amount under Subsection (b) or the amount equal to 100 percent of the proven needs of the child. This is OUTRAGEOUS!!! Anyone in Texas, please ensure you write the crazy nuts who have come up with this...I love how it says the "100%" of the needs of the child...ah, you see...20% DOES cover 100% of the needs of the child...the CP basically is not responsible for ANY part of the financial support of the child... > This prposed bill of the Texas Senate would allow the following: > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > needs of the child...the CP basically is not responsible for ANY part > of the financial support of the child... And here is the current VOTE!!! Ayes=4 Nays=0 Present Not Voting=0 Absent=3 This is CRAZY!!! It just gets worse in Texas...amazing... > This prposed bill of the Texas Senate would allow the following: > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > needs of the child...the CP basically is not responsible for ANY part > of the financial support of the child... Texas is a percent of net income state. So far as I can tell the percentages above are not a change from current CS Texas guideline percentages. I am unclear as to what changes the proposed bill would have on CS awards in Texas. > > This prposed bill of the Texas Senate would allow the following: > [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > > - Mostrar texto de la cita - The change lies in that if an NCPs net resources are less than 2K a year, the court can at it's discretion charge the higher of the percentages above or 100% of the proven needs of the child. So if someone based on the 2K has to pay 400USD a month and the mother has a low paying job or no job or claims anything at all, the courts now have the power to charge the 100% of the needs of the child to the father, in addition to the 20% already being charged... Below is the change that describes this... (c) If the obligor's monthly net resources are less than $2,000, the court may order, after application of the guidelines, additional amounts of child support as appropriate, based on the income of each of the parties and the proven needs of the child, except that the obligor may not be required to pay an additional amount of child support that is more than the greater of the presumptive amount under Subsection (b) or the amount equal to 100 percent of the proven needs of the child. |
