I want a divorce but I don’t want to put him on childsuppirt

Zoe Ann Meigs
Answered by attorney Zoe Ann Meigs (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Law Office of Zoe Meigs, P.C.
Generally you will need to include child support.  Your Judge may be different. Usually a Judge will order the non-custodial parent to pay child support to the custodial parent even if that parent prefer that the court not order support.  The Judges work for the State of Texas and the State of Texas has an interest in ensuring that the custodial parent has  funds to take care of the child without having to rely on the State for health insurance (Medicaid or CHIPs) or other State aid.   If you prepare a final decree that does not require the payment of support and the provision of health and dental insurance, the Judge may send you back to the drawing board when you show up to finalize your divorce, or the Judge may ask you if you have the means to support the child.  In agreed divorces where the parents are each going to have the child about fifty percent of the time, some couples will agree to no child support.  If you are each able to support the child during the period you have the child in your possession, then you will be more likely to convince the court to sign your decree.   I would, however, recommend that you include a child support order and wage withholding order as part of your divorce.  I see too many people come in requesting modification of decrees where the parties had agreed to no support in the divorce, but have found that the non-custodial parent does not contribute financially, and the child and custodial parent are struggling as a result.

It's tough putting it in the agreement. What if he loses his job. He can change his mind if its not in there but don't let this stop you reaching an agreement and force you to trial.

Will I lose my house if I have to move out because my husband becomes abusive?

If he becomes abusive immediately file a restraining order and ask for a kick out order so he has to leave the house. Never stay in an abusive situation. If he attacks you, call the cops. You can't enjoy a house if you're dead or in hospital. Opinion not legal advice.
