Changes in Florida Laws And Guidelines
The way in which Florida calculates child support changed in 2010. Under the new laws, courts are better able to tailor an order to the situation at hand. Under Florida’s guidelines, the income of both parents, the specific amount of overnights with the child each parent has, and other financial factors are taken into consideration.
Modification and Enforcement
The amount of child support is modifiable. After a divorce, we can assist with post-judgment modifications to increase or decrease payments. These changes can be made in situations involving salary changes, changes to the needs of the child, such as medical bills, and other substantial changes.
Changes to laws in 2010 eliminated the requirement for parents to return to court once a child is emancipated to terminate child support obligations. Rather, specific termination dates are now outlined in the original order.
If child support is not being paid, our family law attorneys can petition the court to enforce the support orders. We will stand up for your rights. We have over 30 years of combined experience helping people get the results they need.
