The guidelines for the support of a child in this section are specifically designed to apply to situations in which the obligor's monthly net resources are $6,000 or less. If the obligor's monthly net resources are $6,000 or less, the court shall presumptively apply the following schedule in rendering the child support order:
# of children
Percentage of Obligor's
Net Resources
1
20%
2
25%
3
30%
4
35%
5
40%
6 or more
Not less than the amount for 5 children
If the obligor's net resources exceed $6,000 per month, the court shall presumptively apply the percentage guidelines to the first $6,000 of the obligor's net resources. Without further reference to the percentage recommended by these guidelines, the court may order additional amounts of
child support as appropriate, depending on the income of the parties and the proven needs of the child.
Sections 154.125 and 154.126 Texas Family Code
However, it should be noted that under federal law, all child support is rebuttable. This means the final order and be high or lower than the guideline amount, depending of evidence presented to the court on the ability of the obligor parent to pay.
