In determining an amount of restitution that is reasonable and necessary to support the minor child, the court shall consider all relevant factors, including all of the following: 1. The financial needs and resources of the minor child. 2. The financial needs and resources of the surviving parent or guardian, if any, or of another current guardian of the minor child or, if applicable, the financial resources of this state if the department of child safety is appointed as the temporary or permanent managing conservator of the minor child. 3.

The defendant may enter into a payment plan to address any arrearage that exists on the date of the defendant's release from confinement.
