Get Skilled Legal Assistance In Child Support Cases
As parents ourselves, we understand how emotional and complex child support matters can be. At Peak Legal, our compassionate Miami child support attorneys can provide legal assistance while negotiating this issue.
We are committed to protecting your parental rights and your child’s best interests. We aim to pursue fair child support arrangements during or after divorce.
How Does Child Support Work In Florida?
Both parents have a legal obligation to financially provide for their children’s needs based on their respective incomes and assets. When parents divorce or are not married, the Florida courts strive to ensure children receive adequate financial support via court-ordered child support payments.
Our lawyers can assist you whether you need to:
- Establish an initial child support order
- Modify an existing order due to a change in financial circumstances
- Enforce a child support order if the other parent is not paying their obligated amount
- Defend against excessive or unfair child support obligations
Before anything else, you need to address your unique family situation and financial circumstances. That process includes gathering documentation like pay stubs, tax returns, child care expenses, etc. Our attorneys will review all the relevant details to reach fair child support outcomes.
Who Pays For Child Support?
There is no one-size-fits-all method for determining child support payments. It all depends on the specific circumstances evaluated by the court. Judges work to ensure the child’s financial needs are met while considering both parents’ financial situations, including their incomes, assets, debts and expenses. Either parent may have this obligation. Which party has primary custody/time-sharing may also be a factor in the decision.
Modifying Existing Child Support Arrangements? Call Us.
In many cases, child support orders may need to be modified as situations change over time. Our Miami child support lawyers can assist with pursuing or contesting a modification if either parent’s income increases or decreases substantially.
We will help you compile the necessary evidence and documentation to prove a material change in circumstances. Our attorneys will make a strong case before the court to determine why the existing child support order is no longer appropriate or fair.
