Whether parents are divorced or unmarried, both parents are responsible for supporting their children, either through\u00a0custody\u00a0or financial support. In Florida, child support is based on a formula that incorporates the income of both parents, the amount of\u00a0time-sharing\u00a0enjoyed by each parent and other factors. But the formula is only as good as the data that is entered into it. At Barbra Amron Weisberg, P.A.,\u00a0in Boca Raton, Florida, our aim is to ensure the proper amount of child support is awarded by getting all of the facts out. \u00a0From finding\u00a0hidden assets\u00a0that may easily be missed, gathering information about your children\u2019s needs, to presenting a true picture of what the appropriate amount of child support will be, we will help you make sure the child support award is fair and truly reflects your family\u2019s unique situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Changes in Florida Child Support Laws and Guidelines<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under the new child support laws, courts are better able to develop and tailor a child support order to the situation at hand. Under Florida\u2019s child support guidelines, the income of both parents, the specific number of overnights with the child each parent has, and other financial factors are taken into consideration. Florida\u2019s prior laws required a parent to have at least forty percent of overnights before child support obligations would be reduced, changes to the law now allow for a reduction in child support obligations for parents who has at least twenty percent of overnights with the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Child Support Modification and Enforcement<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The amount of child support is always\u00a0modifiable. After a\u00a0divorce, we can assist with\u00a0post-judgment modifications\u00a0to increase or decrease your child support payments. These changes can be made in situations involving salary changes, job changes, changes to the needs of the child, such as medical bills, and other substantial changes. \u00a0Changes to child support laws in 2010 eliminated the requirement for parents to return to court once a child is emancipated to terminate child support obligations. Rather, specific termination dates are now outlined in the original child support order. \u00a0If child support is not being paid, our attorneys can petition the court to enforce the support orders. We will stand up for your rights. We have nearly 30 years of combined experience helping people get the results they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
