Calculating Child Support In Florida

In Florida, parents cannot decide amongst themselves how much child support is acceptable. In fact, the amount of child support that you think you need, or the amount of child support that you think you can afford to pay is irrelevant. Child support is calculated by a statutory formula that takes into consideration the following:

Number of overnights the child or children spend with each parent

Each parent’s net income

Make a list of every asset and debt you own jointly and separately, including retirement accounts, business interests and real estate properties

The cost of child care, including day care or aftercare

Our skilled attorneys will take the time to understand your goals, so they can tailor their approach to fit your needs. If you are a nonworking parent, our attorneys will explain your rights and responsibilities while making sure you understand your options.

If you have been accused of failing to pay child support by the Florida Department of Revenue, our attorneys have the knowledge and skill to defend you.
