I live in Texas and if my employer pays the health insurance, will my child support go down? My employer pays for everything, its part of my benefits package.

Child support is based on income not outgo.
2 :
Child support and Medical support are separate issues. Child support starts at 20% of his income for toward 1 child. If all his kids are w/ you, this % will increase 5% w/ each child up to 50%. It goes down if there's other kids with other moms. Medical support obtained through your employer is handled as follows: he will most likely be ordered to reimburse you for the insurance amt taken out of your pay check each month. Or, he can provide the insurance through his employment and you don't have to reimburse him.

nope, child support and health insurance are usually 2 separate issues

If you ex finds out or the Attorney General finds out you are not out of pocket they can reduce the child support. Which is only fair if you are not out of pocket then why should you be reimbursed for it???? If you are receiving child support and the health insurance is included and you are no longer out of pocket for health insurance the person who is reibursing you should no longer be required and if they find out they will probably ask for you to have to pay it back Call the Attorney General or go on their website

Your employer pays it for you or for your child? If it pays it for your child and you pay a part of the premium for your child, it might go down but you have to ask the court or CSED to do that and it is basically in their discretion. In most cases though they call it a gift and let you do both. However if your income is low, you don't have to pay the child's premiums nor his health insurance. hope that helps but the best is to ask the state agency ie: child support enforcement division.
