child support and SSDI

[giterdun]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
We are doing the final decree in our divorce, I am disabled and receive SSDI, my children receive payments from my SSDI, my ex also receives a payment, so three payments are sent to them every month. So how should the child support be calculated? I have two children.

You should request that your children's benefits be applied to whatever the guideline amount is.
Example- the guideline amount is $400.00 per month, your children recieve $300.00 per month. The $300.00 will be deducted, leaving a CS amount of $100.00.
