Does my ex wife have grounds to have the court recalculate the support agreement or has the court made the proper calculation?

Divorce lawyer at Mackoy, Hernandez, Jones and Woods LLP
The Family Code says that the income of a spouse is not to be considered in calculating child support therefore, the net income figure used to determine child support would be based only on the income of the paying party.

Been married 28 Years in Texas,...fell out love long ago

Ronda Elizabeth Harris
Answered by attorney Ronda Elizabeth Harris
Divorce lawyer at Harris Law Firm, PLLC
Texas has a "no fault" divorce provision.  Therefore,  a spouse may request a no-fault divorce based on a breakdown of the marriage. Some states refer to this as "irreconcilable differences" or "incompatibility." In Texas, the term used is insupportably, but it is the same as telling the court that neither party is "at fault."

Dividing Assests

John Michael Frick
Answered by attorney John Michael Frick (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Reid Dennis Frick, PC
During a divorce, there is a rebuttable presumption that all of your marital assets are community property, regardless of which spouse's name is listed on the title.  A party claiming to have a separate property interest in an item of property (for example, because they traded in another vehicle they owned before the marriage or used separate funds which were in a bank of account before the marriage) has the burden of proving their separate property interest by clear and convincing evidence, which often requires undisputed documentary evidence.  This usually isn't a factor in a marriage that has lasted "years."Upon divorce, your community property will be divided by the court in a manner that is "just and right" which does not necessarily mean 50-50.  The evidence you detail in your question will be considered in making a "just and right" division of your marital assets.  In most cases, barring unusual evidence, each spouse is awarded the motor vehicle they usually drive and is responsible for paying any debt owed that is secured by the vehicle.  If there is a significant disparity in value or equity, the court typically adjusts that using other assets.  Awarding a motor vehicle to one spouse while making the other spouse responsible for the debt is a recipe for post-divorce conflict and proceedings.  A competent and experienced attorney will strongly caution you against agreeing to such an arrangement.  A competent and experienced judge typically will not order it.
