Child Support in Florida
In the state of Florida, child support is calculated by a mathematical formula that takes into account many factors, including the income of the respective parties and the amount of parenting time each parent has with the children. In limited circumstances, either party may seek a modification of a previous child support order.
If you need an attorney for a case involving the initial establishment, enforcement or modification of child support, the experienced family law attorneys at our firm can provide the assistance you need.
Spousal Support
Spousal support is one of the most hotly contested issues during and after divorce. In Florida, a judge may order a husband or wife to pay spousal support (alimony) for the benefit of the other party. In determining whether to award either party spousal support, the judge may consider the duration of the marriage, the earning capacity of the parties and other factors that affect the financial security of the parties.
An award of spousal support is by no means guaranteed and judges have tremendous latitude regarding the amount and duration of a spousal support award. Accordingly, anyone who is getting a divorce should have an attorney familiar with Florida’s divorce and family laws.
