Send us Fan Mail Welcome to Jimenez Floyd Family Law Firm, your trusted Texas family law advocates. In this video, our experienced attorneys break down the new 2025 Texas Child Support Guidelines — what’s changing, who’s affected, and what it means for your family. What you’ll learn in this video: The updated cap on monthly “net resources” used to calculate guideline child support — increasing from $9,200 to $11,700, effective September 1, 2025.

How to determine whether you should request a modification of your existing child support order. • Practical tips for both custodial and non-custodial parents on preparing for these changes. 📌 Why this matters: The 2025 guideline updates could significantly affect Texas parents — both in the amount of child support paid and received.
