Child Support

Child Support in Florida

In Florida, child support is awarded to ensure that parents are contributing to the financial support of their children. Our Florida family lawyers know that there are many qualifications and requirements to child support, as well as some exceptions. For example, if the child is enrolled full time as a student, child support is payable until the child reaches 18. One exception to this rule is that a parent may be obligated to continue to support an adult disabled child who is not self-supporting. No matter what your situation, your child support attorney from Jennifer Darley, PA family law practice is ready to listen and help you with your case.

 

Child Support Factors & Guidelines

In Florida, there is a guideline to determine if and how much child support must be paid by a one parent to another. Important factors to consider are:

• Amount of money each parent earns

• Amount of money each parent is capable or earning

• Amount of time spent with the child

• Any hardships that justify deviating from a child support order

 

The real work comes before your hearing and relies on determining the income upon which the child support will be based. When a spouse feels a former partner’s income does not properly reflect his or her ability to pay, it is even more critical to seek the advice of a skilled veteran child support attorney in Florida.
