Carefully Handling Child Support Issues for Florida Clients
If you are married and have children, and are now considering separation or divorce, you should speak to an attorney about child support immediately. Child support is meant to support the child's life and should be determined in a fair manner that represents the spouses' current circumstances. If parties avoid handling support in any way that doesn't promote the child's best interests, the State of Florida will step in and take charge of the situation.
From our Jacksonville-based location, Law Office of Nina R. Price, PLLC works and argues for the child. We will not work in any way that will be a detriment to a child. That said, our office actively pursues just payment from the other parent, especially in highly contested divorce cases.
Common Concerns in Child Support
Determining the amount of child support payments and modifying existing support orders are two of many issues that can arise. Some other common issues clients face also include the following:
- A parent feels he is paying too much child support
- A parent may think she isn't getting enough child support
- A parent is being sued by the State of Florida to obtain child support
- A parent has stopped making payments and the other parent is seeking a contempt hearing
Calculating Child Support
Child support is statutory, and is determined through a mathematical equation that takes into account the income of both spouses, day care and health care costs, and other involved factors. Our firm has the software developed by the legislature that will determine the appropriate payment for your situation.
