The Florida child support guidelines establish a formula into which numbers are entered and the amount of child support is calculated. These numbers can include the income of both parents, the number of children and any extra expenses, such as day care or medical insurance.
Modifications
If a drastic change in circumstances has resulted in the inability or increase in ability of a parent to continue paying child support, a modification to the order can be sought. One common change in circumstances is the loss or gaining of employment. This can result in the decrease or increase in child support payments. We provide guidance and representation throughout the modification process. It is important that you seek a modification through the courts in order for that arrangement to be enforceable.
Enforcement
Once a child support order has been established through the courts, it becomes legally enforceable. If the parent who is responsible for child support is not paying, they are facing a range of consequences if they do not make arrangements to pay as they are supposed to. These consequences can range from wage garnishment to jail time. We can assist parents in seeking the enforcement of their child support order or attempting a modification in order to prevent the enforcement of an unreasonable order.
