                                      EL PASO, TEXAS

                                                   §                No. 08-22-00055-CV

  IN THE INTEREST OF:                              §                   Appeal from the

  I.J.K. and E.A.K.,                               §            383rd Judicial District Court

                                  Children.        §              of El Paso County, Texas

                                                   §                (TC# 2019DCM7783)

                                         JUDGMENT

       The Court has considered this cause on the record and concludes the trial court’s judgment

should be affirmed in part and reversed and remanded in part. We reverse and remand this matter

to the trial court for the sole and limited purpose of determining whether Appellant has a legal duty

to support to his fourth child, and if the court finds in the affirmative, it must determine the proper

amount of Appellant’s child support obligations under the Texas Family Code in light of that duty

as well as enter any necessary factual determinations in support of its child support calculations.

We affirm the trial court’s order in all other respects

       We further order that each party shall bear one-half (1/2) of the costs of appeal, for which

let execution issue. See TEX. R. APP. P. 43.5. This decision shall be certified below for observance.
       IT IS ORDERED THIS 28TH DAY OF APRIL, 2023.
