The division of property is solely within the discretion of the judge. There is a presumption that both parents should be appointed joint managing conservators of the children, but the legal rights of a conservator may be delegated between the parents.
Child support is set by statute as a percentage of the person's net income.
There are various factors that the Judge may take into consideration when determining the amount of child support to be paid. The terms of visitation are also set out by statute, but the Judge has the discretion to modify these as well. The parties may agree as to the division of property, custody of the children, child support, and visitation. The Court will generally accept an agreement of the parties if the Court finds that the agreement is in the best interest of the parties and the children.
