Texas Implements Law Requiring Drunk Drivers to Pay Child Support

Texas has implemented a new law, known as Bentley's Law, which requires drunken drivers who kill a child's parent or guardian in a crash to pay child support. The law states that offenders are liable until the child turns 18 or finishes high school. The amount of child support is determined based on factors such as the child's educational and medical needs, reasonable child care costs, and the child's standard of living. Those unable to make payments due to incarceration may be eligible for a payment plan.
