QUESTION
If my husband is paying more than 30% in medical insurance can he be ordered to pay anything for child support?

More details to this question:
I’m currently trying to figure out if I’ll be able to file and my husband not contest. Right now he’s saying he won’t have to pay child support because he pays 30% in health insurance costs. We have three children together that are on his insurance but I am not. He is considering his total amount he pays not just what he pays in insurance for the kids. Is it possible he wouldn’t be ordered to also provide support for the kids because of the medical insurance cost?

If you separate and/or divorce and the children live with you, your husband will be ordered to pay child support AND health insurance. There is no provision in Texas law that says he doesn't pay child support because of health insurance costs.
