Child Support

Broward County Child Support Lawyer

Experienced Child Support Representation in Fort Lauderdale Surrounding Broward County, FL

As a biological or adoptive parent, you have the responsibility to financially provide for your children. You may wonder how you would realistically accomplish this after divorce

In addition to creating a new life for yourself without your spouse, one parent may be required to pay child support to the other parent. These are payments ordered to cover costs such as health care, child care, and other necessities.

Child support is calculated using a mathematical formula that is based on both parents:

  • Incomes
  • Timesharing between the parents
  • Health insurance costs
  • And costs of child care

In some cases, parents choose to be unemployed or underemployed in order to receive more money from their ex-spouse in the form of child support payments. This is not a successful tactic as the court will impute income to this individual for the purpose of calculating child support payments.

Child Support Modification in Florida

If you have already been through the divorce process and you are making large support payments, feel your support payments are less than you should be receiving, or your child is now an adult, then it is important to know that family law issues and divorce stipulations can be modified to better suit your needs and circumstances. 

Income Changes 

People change, circumstances change, and incomes change. If you are experiencing difficulty in making your support payments or would like to seek more child support from the other parent, then you should retain legal assistance in order to petition the court to alter your payment amount. 

It may be beneficial to enter into or request a modification agreement with the other parent, as the legal fees, and the stress of the process in its entirety, may render your modification cost prohibitive. As a lawyer and a Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Mediator,  I can help.

How Is Child Support Determined in Florida? 

Our child support attorneys in Broward County can help you determine how much child support you'll be required to pay based on a few factors, including parental income, number of children, pre-existing child support obligations, and amount of time spent with the children.  

Of course, there are additional line items to consider. For example, if the parents have a high net worth or if the case involves a single mother who lost her job in today's economy. Depending on the circumstance, you may be in need of a Broward County child support modification.
