Under Florida family law, parents are required to financially support their children. In the event of a divorce or the establishment of paternity, legal guidelines have been established to ensure that children receive the support they need to ensure their overall welfare.

Child Support in Florida

Child support is determined by Florida state guidelines that provide a formula for payment amount calculation. This calculation is based on the “income shares model,” in which estimates of the monetary amounts that parents would spend on the child if the parents stayed together is then split between them based on their respective incomes.

Factors used in the formula include:

The income of both spouses
How much time each parent spends with the child
How many children are being supported
Health care insurance
Daycare costs
Educational costs
Extracurricular activity costs
Any other relevant expenses pertaining to the child

Even where parents share even time with their children, child support payments are generally required by the parent who earns more. This is done to ensure that the child’s standard of living that was created during the marriage is maintained.

Enforcement & Modification

If you already have a child support order that was issued by the court which is no longer viable, you can seek to have it modified through the court. You will have to provide proof that a significant change in circumstances has occurred for either you or the child.

If you are a parent who has not received the child support payments owed as ordered by the court, you can also seek to have the order enforced through legal action.

At the Law Offices of Lisa P. Kirby, P.A., we handle all child support matters from establishment of payment to modifications and enforcement.
