No one has answered my previous question. I need help on the Texas laws for child support. The judge ordered my brother in law to pay 25% of his salary for child support for his two teenagers ( 12 and 14). It came out to $675. That is supposed to be the maximum he can order, however, he told him his was also responsible for half of the children's private school tuition which is $250. He was also ordered to pay for their insurance premiums which I understand is standard and also half of all their medical bills. These two children are on medications which total about $200 a month and if you add up the $675, the $250 and half of th medical at $100 you get to more than half of his salary of $2,000 a month and he can not even survive on the rest in terms of paying his own rent and car payment and such. His attorney told him he has grounds for an appeal and another attorney told him he doesn't so we are not sure who to believe. Please help if you are an attorney or a parent in Texas who has been through this and maybe knows the laws. Thanks, Dana
