The answer depends on the formula used to calculate child support in your jurisdiction. Generally, most states rely on a formula that uses a percentage of the non-custodial parent's wages so if the custodial parent gets a raise in pay it may not offset the NC parent's obligation.

Does the non-custodial parent need to have insurance on the child when paying child support in Texas?
Yes, if it is so ordered in the child support agreement.

This may change the amount of support the non custodial parent pays - it is entirely up to the whim of the courts.

Does the custodial parent have a say in the amount of child support?
Tipically, no! The amount is calculated and based on the income of the other parent.

If the custodial parent is on SSI disability are the benefits considered a source of income when determining child support in Indiana?
The custodial parent (the one who has the child/children) is receiving SSI that is not included in the decision of the amount of support paid by the non custodial parent. If the non custodial parent is receiving SSD or SSI or other public assistance it is included in the decision for the amount of child support granted and such benefits can be garnished.
