CHILD SUPPORT GUIDELINES
Understanding Child Support in Florida
Florida calculates child support using statutory guidelines, primarily based on:
Each parent’s income
The number of overnights exercised by each parent
Health insurance costs for the child
Childcare expenses
Other court-ordered support obligations
While the formula is standardized, the outcome is not always straightforward. Accurate calculations and proper documentation are critical. Small errors can lead to long-term financial consequences.
Our Strategic Approach
We believe in leveraging the framework that has long governed Florida family law while applying a forward-thinking lens to modern family dynamics.
1. Income Analysis & Financial Disclosure
We assist with mandatory financial disclosure and ensure all income—salary, bonuses, self-employment income, and other sources—is properly addressed.
2. Guideline Calculations
We run detailed child support guideline calculations to determine the correct presumptive amount under Florida law.
3. Negotiation or Court Determination
If the parties are aligned, we work toward agreement and avoid unnecessary hearings. If not, we are fully prepared to present a clear, well-supported position to the court.
Child Support Establishment, Modification, and Enforcement
We represent clients in all stages of child support matters, including:
- Establishment of child support in divorce or paternity cases
- Modification of child support due to changes in income, employment, or timesharing
- Enforcement actions when support is not being paid as ordered
Our objective is operational efficiency—resolving issues decisively while maintaining compliance with Florida statutes.
