Florida Child Support Guidelines

The Florida Child Support Guidelines govern the amount of child support paid, basing child support payments primarily on the net income of both parents, and the amount of time each parent spends with the child(ren). The cost of daycare, health insurance and un-reimbursed medical expenses are also factored into the Guideline amounts. However, a departure from the Guidelines is possible if there are significant travel costs for visitation, or by agreement between the parties.

Modifications of the original support order can be requested when financial circumstances change.
Florida laws are very stringent when it comes to enforcing child support payments. Non-payment or delinquency may result in contempt fines, the suspension of driver’s license or a county jail sentence. If you have been bound to a child support agreement that you cannot afford or have had a change in your financial situation, a low cost child support attorney can petition for a child support modification order, before the situation gets out of control.

For parents who have fallen behind in their child support payments or are at risk of being ordered to pay retroactive child support shortly after paternity has been established for a child, a Florida child support attorney can help negotiate a settlement. If left to chance, a child support arrears order can date back to day the child was born, regardless of their age at the time the order is given. This could result in up to 18 years of child support arrears. These types of settlements can often be reduced to a lower amount by utilizing the strong negotiating skills of Justin P. Schafer.
