Child Support in Florida

Posted by Gordon Shayne | Oct 23, 2024 | 0 Comments

WHO HAS TO PAY CHILD SUPPORT IN FLORIDA

Child Support in Florida is required in certain kinds of cases, such as Divorces or Paternity. As an example, in a Divorce case, the child is entitled to the financial Child Support of his or her parents. The Child Support Guidelines in these cases is mandatory. Child Support is calculated by using a formula along with a Worksheet that takes into account many different factors, such as the incomes of the parents, the time-sharing schedule, insurance, health and daycare expenses, etc. 

A Judge will not ignore the Child Support Guidelines even if both parents have a shared equal time-sharing arrangement. You should expect that Child Support will be addressed by the Judge hearing your case, which means that the Judge will want to know how much Child Support will be paid each and every month through the child's 18th birthday. At the age of 18, child support will terminate.

To be certain your are abiding by the laws and rules regarding Child Support, an experienced Attorney is necessary.
