Your Visitation Rights in Austin, Texas
Once the court has created these orders, they cannot be modified, except when both parents are in agreement or a parent or child’s situation has changed significantly. It is vital that you secure fair results before these court orders are set in stone. Set up your consultation with a child visitation attorney in Austin to find out how you can preserve your family’s rights.

Here are some important things to know about child support in Texas:
- It is calculated based on state guidelines, factoring in the non-custodial parent’s income.
- The custodial parent is presumed to pay child support as he or she pays the daily expenses.
- A court has to approve any changes to support; parents cannot do so on their own.
- Support payments can be increased if a parent can show a reduced ability to pay.
