Child Support Attorney Doral

Child Support

Children are expensive, and Florida currently has the highest rate of inflation in the nation. This means that it is equally important for parents on the receiving end of child support to ensure that they are getting enough for their children to thrive, and for parents on the providing end of child support to ensure that they are not paying more than their fair share.

Our knowledgeable Doral child support attorneys at Divorce & Mediation Law Firm l Cabanas Law Firm understand all of the complexities associated with either end of the child support spectrum. We care about your child’s stability and financial security, and we also care about yours! Let us guide you towards the best arrangement for both. Call 954-710-9113 today to request your Free 15-Minute Case Evaluation with our team and learn more about your rights and options!

How Much Should I Pay Or Receive?

A statutory guideline chart will take into account the number of children, the number of overnights each parent has, the parties’ net incomes, and certain specific expenses of the children (such as childcare, medical and dental insurance premiums, and uncovered medical and dental expenses). Both parents will complete a Child Support Guidelines Worksheet that serves as the starting point for determining child support, as well as a financial affidavit that verifies how much income each parent has.

Note that Florida courts do not tolerate one parent intentionally quitting a job, not actively looking for a job if they do not have one, or accepting a much lesser-paying job than they are qualified for in order to avoid paying a certain amount of child support. The courts always put the best interests of the children first, so this behavior is not acceptable and may result in the court imputing the income the parent should be earning in making the calculation for child support.

At Cabanas Law Firm, we pride ourselves in treating each client as an individual, carefully planning for their particular needs and delivering effective legal services to serve their specific legal goals.

Who Pays Child Support?

It depends – but technically, both! Florida state laws mandate that both divorced parents financially support their child(ren) until they turn 18, or until they graduate high school, if they will graduate before age 19.

This does not mean that both parents will pay the other parent, but it does mean that both parents will contribute to the child(ren)’s financial needs. Which parent will pay the other, and how much they will pay, will depend on a variety of factors – there is actually a specific calculation involved!

What If I Do Not Think The Amount I Am Paying Is Fair?

The amount of child support you will pay, if you are the paying parent, will affect your own financial journey for years to come. Florida’s calculations do not always take into account a family’s unique history or situation, so it is important to have the right legal representation who can stand up for your interests and rights! If you suspect that you are being asked to pay too much in child support, our Doral child support attorneys can help.

What If The Other Parent Is Not Paying?

If the other parent does not want to carry their weight when it comes to providing for your children’s needs, our team will use every resource at our disposal to change that, and make sure they do pay their fair share. In some cases, this involves filing motions for contempt and enforcement and taking advantage of the court’s many powers to coerce payment of support. In other cases where there is a more honest change of circumstances, we can help with modifying the existing child support amount.

What About Mediation?

Figuring out how much child support should be involved in your custody agreement is hard, but it does not have to be a toxic or dramatic process. Even if you and your spouse do not get along well, mediation may help! Mediation is when you meet with a neutral third party who is specially trained to facilitate compromise between the parties about their child’s needs and their financial contributions, as opposed to fighting it out in court.

You are not required to settle at mediation, so if it does not work out you can always go to court as a last resort, but trying it can save you time and stress, and also save your children from additional emotional heartache. If you do settle, the mediation agreement is legally binding and will be ratified by a court’s final judgment. Our Doral child support attorneys are also certified mediators! We can serve as the third-party or we can represent your interests in mediation, whichever you prefer.
