Putting Your Legal Priorities in Order

In most Florida cases, child support payments are determined by combining the income of the two parents, and is apportioned based on how often each parent has the children in their care. The parent who has physical custody the majority of the time is the parent who receives child support.
Everything is determined by the numbers, but there are protections for those people who are underemployed or unemployed. Also, the court is empowered to provide an equitable result in other circumstances, such as a gifted child or a child with special needs or handicaps, but its first priority is to protect the rights of the children involved.
There are also many situations where both parents are actively involved and that is reflected in the parenting program. This affects child support for both parties, as you do not need to provide support for a child when custody is split in half.
Taking a look at all the factors involved in your case, we will help you come up with a fair and equitable child support plan. We also handle child support modifications and enforcement actions for families who cannot get their child support plan to work or when other changes in circumstances occur which were not relevant at the time the final divorce decree.
