Ensuring Your Children Have the Financial Support They Need
Other than the emotional involvement and time that is spent raising children, the number one obligation of parents during and after a divorce is to make sure their children are supported financially. While the amount of child support will be determined according to Florida statute, it is important to have an experienced family law attorney on your side to make sure any child support order accurately reflects your situation.

How Is Child Support Decided?
Child support is determined by a complicated formula which takes into consideration a number of factors, including the parenting plan, day care costs, health insurance costs and other expenses that come with raising a child. It is important to have an attorney to make sure the information being used in the formula is accurate.
Can You Modify Child Support?
Yes. Post decree modification can occur if a significant change has occurred in your situation. For instance, in the event of a job loss or promotion, child support orders will need to be updated to reflect the reality of your financial situation. Also, child support would need to be changed if custody arrangements are modified.
