Me and my husband are going thru a rough patch (his family has decided that im not a good wife or mother!!) and he has decided to agree with them. he says that he want to seperate and divorce and for me to file for child support.
Does anyone know of any good Child Support websites for Texas or is all the same in every state?
i just want to know my rights, he and his family keep threating that they are going to take my daughter and my son (when he is born) away from me because of things i did in high school (6yrs ago, before kids and marriage). he smokes pot and so does him mother, his father is an alcoholic and has a terrible anger problems.
he got so mad one time at my daughter for playing he threw a hammer and almost hit her in the head and all he could say was "she shouldnt have been in my Fu*king way"
Please i dont need any negative responsed i get enough from him and his family i just want to know rights?
Thank you in advance

A good starting point is findlaw.com. There are a couple of good links on Google search; file "child support" Texas. All child support is determined by state law, however there are critical federal guidelines particularly where state assistance has been provided to the children. It is important for you to understand that child support and child custody are two separate things and that child custody battles can become very ugly. If there are allegations of drug or alcohol abuse or domestic violence the courts will take those issues very seriously, but will not commonly act without substantial evidence. It is best that you contact an attorney and check what your options are as specific to Texas law. Most attorney's will not charge for an initial consultation. Also if you are in a lower income bracket check with the local bar association to see if they can refer you for free legal assistance.
You should contact the family court in your area, they usually have a family services or informational office with staff who can explain to you what your rights are. They vary from state to state with respect to divorce and custody proceedings.
