Q: I am filing a response in a child support modification. Do I list all children or only minor children?
All children are included on the service papers, because the court used information from the original divorce papers.
A: When filing a response in a child support modification case in Texas, you typically need to list all the children, including both minor and adult children, if they were part of the original divorce papers. Even if the modification specifically focuses on a particular child or aspect of child support, it's advisable to provide information about all the children involved to ensure completeness and accuracy in the legal proceedings. This comprehensive approach helps the court consider the entire family situation when making decisions related to child support modifications.
