Child support is often one of the most stressful and misunderstood aspects of a family law case. In a recent podcast episode, Abbie Laine, founding attorney of Laine Law Firm, PLLC, sat down to demystify the intricacies of the Texas child support system and how it specifically impacts families in the El Paso border community.The Basics: Who Pays and How Much?In Texas, child support is determined by which parent the court designates as the primary or custodial parent. The other parent, known as the obligor, is responsible for monthly payments.The standard percentages for calculation are:1 Child: 20% of net resources2 Children: 25% of net resources3 Children: 30% of net resourcesAbbie highlighted a critical 2026 update: the income cap for these calculations has increased to $11,700 per month in net resources. For high-income earners in El Paso, this means their obligation could be significantly higher than in previous years.The Border City Challenge: Cash Trades and Undocumented WorkersEl Paso's unique status as a border city brings specific challenges, particularly when parents work in the "cash trade." Abbie explained that enforcing support in these cases is more complex but not impossible. Her firm utilizes tax returns, bank statements, and lifestyle audits to prove income. Furthermore, if a parent refuses to work, the court may find them "intentionally underemployed," presuming an income of at least minimum wage for support calculations.The Trap of Direct PaymentsOne of the most valuable warnings Abbie shared involves the method of payment. Many parents mistakenly believe that paying via Cash App, Venmo, or physical cash is sufficient because it leaves a digital trail.However, without an official record through the Attorney General's Child Support Division, a parent can deny receiving the funds, leading to costly enforcement actions. Abbie strongly advises all parents to pay through the local Attorney General's office—such as the location on Hawkins Blvd—to ensure every cent is tracked and credited.Consequences of Non-Payment: It Never Goes AwayUnlike standard consumer debt, child support is a legal obligation that cannot be discharged. If you fall behind, you face severe consequences, including:Jail Time: Since it isn't considered "debt" by the Texas legislature, you can be incarcerated for non-payment.Life-Long Accrual: Support debt never expires. It continues to accrue interest and can even be collected from your estate after death.When Life Changes: The Need for ModificationIf you lose your job, Abbie's advice is clear: file for a modification immediately. You cannot retroactively reduce your debt; the obligation only changes once a new court order is signed. Generally, you can request a modification every three years, though a "material and substantial change" in income or circumstances can allow for a review much sooner.Beyond the Check: Medical Support and 50/50 CustodyChild support often includes an "umbrella" of medical support, covering expenses like health insurance and even braces. Even in 50/50 custody arrangements, a parent making significantly more may still be ordered to pay "offset" support to ensure the child enjoys a consistent standard of living in both homes.Protect Your Family's FutureWhether you need an uncontested divorce or a fierce child custody attorney, understanding the "whole picture"—including conservatorship and visitation—is essential before you file.

Welcome to A Year and a Day. I'm Jaime Davis, board-certified family law attorney at Gailor Hunt. In this episode, I sit down with Autumn Dubois, founder and principal agent of Dubois Property Group, to discuss the strategic management of one of your most significant financial assets during a divorce: the family home.Autumn shares her expertise on navigating the intersection of real estate and divorce, explaining why she views her role as "Switzerland"—a neutral third party dedicated to protecting the sale regardless of the conflict between spouses. We explore the importance of a tight listing strategy, why having a hard date in a separation agreement is the "absolute best scenario" for preventing delays, and how to manage the logistical hurdles of repairs and staging when homeowners are living separately.Together, we weigh the pros and cons of when one party wants to stay in the family home and discuss the financial "red flags" that might make selling a better move than a buyout, the complexities of loan assumptions in today's market, and transitioning into a "new chapter" purchase. Autumn also provides a checklist for coordinating with divorce attorneys to ensure closing disclosures and proceed directives align with legal requirements, helping you maximize your profit and move forward with clarity.Need help from Autumn?

A Commonwealth Ombudsman report has found Services Australia knowingly breached child support laws for six years, denying payments to parents with less than 35 per cent care. At least 16,600 people were affected, with some owed up to $10,000. The report highlights unintended legal consequences, financial abuse risks, and recommends law changes, compensation, and stronger oversight to recover funds and protect vulnerable families.

Dr Boyce discusses the woman who paid her husband's child support.

A landmark report has revealed Services Australia knowingly bypassed child support laws for six years, internally blocking payments to over 16,000 parents who provided less than 35 per cent of their children's care. While the agency argued the law created "unintended consequences" by requiring primary carers to pay those with minimal care responsibilities, the Ombudsman ruled that ignoring legislation is not an option for public servants. - ایک اہم رپورٹ میں انکشاف ہوا ہے کہ سروسز آسٹریلیا نے جان بوجھ کر چھ سال تک چائلڈ سپورٹ قوانین کو نظرانداز کیا اور اندرونی طور پر ان ادائیگیوں کو روک دیا جو سولہ ہزار سے زائد ایسے والدین کو ملنی تھیں جو اپنے بچوں کی پینتیس فیصد دیکھ بھال کرتے تھے۔اگرچہ ادارے کا مؤقف تھا کہ سروسز آسٹریلیا کا طریقہ کار "غیر ارادی نتائج" پیدا کر رہا تھا کیونکہ اس کے تحت بنیادی نگہداشت کرنے والوں کے ساتھ کم دیکھ بھال کرنے والوں کو بھی ادائیگی کرنا پڑتی تھی، لیکن محتسب نے فیصلہ دیا کہ سرکاری اداروں کو قانون کو نظرانداز کرنے کا کوئی اختیار نہیں۔

Welcome to A Year and a Day. I'm Jaime Davis, board-certified family law attorney at Gailor Hunt. In this episode, I'm talking with Dr. Lee Baucom, a veteran relationship coach, therapist, and creator of the Save the Marriage System.Lee shares his perspective as a "recovering marriage therapist," explaining why traditional marriage counseling often fails by focusing on communication—the "plumbing"—rather than the underlying connection. He breaks down how marriages often hit a "pause button" during busy seasons of life, leading to a slow cascade of disconnection that mirrors the symptoms people mistake for the "reasons" for divorce.Together, we explore the concept of "The We"—viewing the marriage as a third entity or a team—and how this mindset shift can resolve conflicts over money, parenting, in-laws, and more. Lee reveals how one partner can unilaterally change the "dance" of a relationship to invite restoration, even when the other is emotionally withdrawn or "quietly quitting" the marriage. Whether you are looking to save your partnership or create a better  co-parenting relationship, Lee provides a roadmap for moving from high-conflict combat to connection.Need help from Lee?

Welcome to A Year and a Day. I'm Jaime Davis, board-certified family law attorney at Gailor Hunt. In this re-run episode, I'm talking with Kate Anthony, a certified high-conflict divorce coach and author of The D Word: Making the Ultimate Decision about Your Marriage.Kate shares her insights from over a decade of coaching thousands of women through the agonizing choice of whether to stay in a marriage or pursue a divorce. We explore why women often stay in unhappy relationships for an average of four years before making a move, frequently choosing their children's or spouse's needs above their own. Kate challenges the cultural myth that "staying for the kids" is always the best path, noting that high-conflict or deeply unhappy households can create a toxic blueprint for a child's future relationships.Together, we discuss how to identify different forms of abuse—including emotional, financial, and spiritual—and the "frog in boiling water" syndrome that leaves many women desensitized to their own unhappiness. Kate provides a roadmap for self-actualization, explaining how to differentiate your inner guide from your inner critic and why personal development is the ultimate tool for a brighter future, whether that involves saving the marriage through qualified therapy or "saving the divorce" through healthy communication.Need help from Kate?

Have you felt paralyzed by the thought of meeting a divorce lawyer, fearing that stepping into the office makes the end of your marriage a done deal? What if that first meeting isn't about starting a fight, but about finally gaining the clarity and game plan you need to move forward?This week on A Year and a Day, Jaime Davis sits down with her colleague Grace Massarelli, a family law attorney at Gailor Hunt who guides clients through the high-anxiety early stages of separation. Grace pulls back the curtain on the initial consultation, transforming it from a scary "point of no return" into an empowering information-gathering session.They discuss the emotional intelligence required to navigate this transition and why the most important person in the room is actually you—the captain of your own goals.Tune in for:Why the initial consultation is the first page of your next chapter and how it can set the tone for your entire case.Normalizing the "emotional soup" of anxiety, guilt, and anger—and why authenticity is more important than a strong face in the lawyer's office.The "Exposure Check": Why your attorney needs to know the worst true thing the other side can say about you.The difference between legal options and non-legal alternatives (and why seeing a lawyer doesn't always mean a lawsuit).Why North Carolina's specific "Year and a Day" separation requirement makes this process a marathon, not a sprint.How to determine if a lawyer is a good fit for your personality and whether their approach aligns with your desired level of conflict.Practical tips on what to bring (contracts and prenups) and what to leave at home (thousands of text messages and five years of bank statements).The "Choose Your Own Adventure" nature of legal fees and how to communicate your budget to stay in control of the costs.Grace's three takeaways for anyone terrified to take the first step: It's okay to feel, information is power, and you will be okay.About Grace Massarelli:Grace Massarelli is a family law attorney at Gailor Hunt in North Carolina.

From there he received a Paralegal Degree from an American Bar accredited school.      Anthony had been fighting with two different states, Idaho and California, on Child Support involving the SAME child and the excuse was that,"we didn't have JURISDICTION."    Working closely with Mark Ludwig for equal shared parenting, Anthony discussed his journey through family court, false allegations and how important it is for the child to have two parents.

Welcome to A Year and a Day. In this episode, board-certified family law attorney Jaime Davis talks with Thad Hollis, an expert in conflict resolution, divorce coaching, and mediation, and the founder of Better Outcomes.Thad introduces his powerful philosophy: "Conflict is inevitable. Combat is optional." He explains how someone in the middle of a painful divorce can begin to view conflict as a "gift"—an opportunity for positive change rather than a source of destruction. Thad shares his mediation and coaching techniques, emphasizing the need for clients to "find their voice" and shift their mindset from a win-lose battleground to constructive negotiation.Jaime and Thad discuss common emotional roadblocks in divorce, such as the need "to be heard," feelings of unfairness, and the prevalence of power imbalances in relationships. They conclude by focusing on the ultimate goal: being kind and future-focused to ensure the best possible outcome for the children and the co-parenting relationship.Need help from Thad?
