Fort Lauderdale Child Support Lawyers
Your children are understandably very important to you, and you need to know that they are getting the love and financial support they need to succeed. You need to know that your children are getting what they need to pay for their clothes, food, housing, education, and many of the other expenses associated with raising a child.
We routinely handle the establishment of a child support order in a Florida divorce. Our law firm also can file a complaint to establish a paternal relationship if you are unmarried. If the father of your child will not acknowledge paternity or pay child support, the court can force the presumed father to submit to DNA testing which will establish paternity. Once paternity has been established, the father will be ordered to pay child support according to Florida child support guidelines.
Florida law provides for a very specific statutory calculation, which is required in the determination of child support called “guideline child support.” Florida family courts rarely deviate from the guideline child support calculation so it is important to understand the concept of guideline child support in Florida. Broadly speaking the formula for child support is Net Income = Gross Income – Subtractable Deductions. The items that are used in this formula include:
- Income of both parties from virtual all sources
- Time-share of each parent
- Certain deductions including taxes, FICA, mandatory health insurance contributions, retirement contributions and union dues,
- Court ordered spousal support or child support paid for other children
