When parents divorce, they face many new financial challenges. Child support can provide for their children as they grow, but reaching a fair arrangement for these payments can be a challenge.
Attorney Lacey N. Richmond has nearly 10 years of experience helping families work toward child support orders that provide for their child while also protecting their financial health. We offer guidance and personalized legal strategies to families in Brazoria, Galveston, Harris and the surrounding counties. We also provide representation in child support cases throughout the State of Texas.
I hired Ms. Richmond to represent me in a child support (SAPCR) and post-marital agreement case. Words cannot express how grateful I am for her services! She helped me to pick up the pieces at a point in my life when everything seemed shattered. She is extremely professional and very thorough in her work. She clearly understood my situation and concerns and went above and beyond to deliver results that exceeded my expectations. I will continue to use Ms. Richmond for any future legal matters and highly recommend her services to anyone needing a skilled attorney in family law.

The exact amount of child support you pay depends on the income of the parent paying support, the needs of your child, and the number of children you support. Texas law provides guidelines for the percentage of your income you may pay in child support. Parents supporting a larger number of children will pay a greater percentage of their income. There are also percentage reductions for parents who have children in more than one household.
It is important to remember that your income is only one factor that the court considers when determining child support. The court may consider a variety of other details, including the cost of child care, special needs or disabilities your child has, the cost of extracurricular activities, and costs associated with traveling to see the child in long-distance visitation situations.
Lacey really made this divorce process seamless. She is knowledgeable and informative, gets the paperwork to you and filed quickly, and at the 60 day mark I had the unofficial signed paperwork by the judge. Highly recommend her!

Over time, your situation and your child’s needs will change. Thankfully, the court can modify your child support order to reflect those changing circumstances. Changes to your employment or income, your insurance coverage, your child’s health and many other significant life changes could be cause to modify your support order.
Unfortunately, parents may not always be willing or able to follow the requirements of their child support order. Children may be left without financial support, and the receiving parent may struggle to meet their needs. Thankfully, custodial parents can take legal action to recover unpaid child support.
Lacey was a blessing for me during my case. We determined what we needed and Lacey got the job done! She was always very responsive and upfront in exactly what our plan was going to be. I highly recommend her to anyone dealing with custody. She was prepared and presented a strong case in front of the judge and we won! I can’t thank Lacey enough for all of her hard-work.
