Child Support Attorney Davie

Child Support

It is no secret that children are expensive, or that Florida is an expensive place to live. It is also no secret that child support issues can be some of the most contentious in any divorce, separation, or paternity case.

What MIGHT be a secret is that your child support case does not have to be a toxic legal battle!

If you and your child’s other parent can be reasonably agreeable and use tools like mediation, or work together with the help of our Davie child support attorneys, you can keep your case out of court and save time, money, and stress.

At Divorce & Mediation Law Firm l Cabanas Law Firm, we understand how important it is for parents to receive the right amount of child support they need to provide for their children, and we also understand that paying more than a fair share of child support can be detrimental to parents on the other end. Our goal is to guide your family to the best arrangement for everyone.

What you should know about child support in Florida

Both parents are expected to financially support their children. In Florida, this is calculated with a statutory guideline chart! It takes into account the number of children, the number of overnights each parent has, both parents’ net incomes, specific expenses the children have (like childcare costs, medical insurance costs, and uncovered medical expenses).

In order to verify these details, both parents will fill out a Child Support Guidelines Worksheet that serves as the starting point for negotiations and a financial affidavit to confirm income.

The optimal way to approach your child support case

Mediation is highly recommended to help you and your co-parent resolve child support issues. This is when you and your co-parent meet with a neutral third-party professional who is trained to help you have productive conversations and reach a compromise.

Mediation gives you more control over the outcome, as opposed to letting a judge who doesn’t know you or your family decide how much child support should be paid by each parent. It also saves court costs and attorney fees, and it is completely confidential. It is also not legally binding; if you try it, and it does not lead to a mutually agreeable compromise, you can always go to court to reach a final resolution. However, if you do settle in mediation, the mediation agreement can be approved by the court and carried out.

Our Davie child support attorneys are also certified mediators! This means that we can serve as the mediator, or we can represent you as your attorney in mediation (one or the other, whichever you prefer).

Frequently Asked Questions About Child Support

What if I do not think the amount I am paying is fair?

If you suspect that you are paying too much in child support (especially if your circumstances have changed since the original agreement was made), it is important to speak up and take action. You should not be paying more than your fair share, and Florida’s calculations do not always take your unique circumstances into account. Contact our Davie child support attorneys as soon as possible to learn about your rights and what your options are.

What if the other parent is not paying child support?

If the other parent is not paying child support, you do have options! Our Davie child support attorneys can use a variety of legal resources to enforce the payments and ensure you and your child are getting the financial help you need. We may file a motion for contempt and enforcement with the court, or we can modify the existing agreement to reflect a change in circumstances if it has occurred.

How long does child support last in Florida?

Typically, child support ends when the child turns 18 or when they graduate high school (if they graduate before age 19). However, if the child has special needs or there are other special circumstances, it may continue for a set period of time or indefinitely.

Can I take a lower paying job to avoid paying so much child support?

No! The court always prioritizes the best interests of the child, and this behavior is frowned upon and often penalized.
