Child Support

In Florida, it is required that both parents pay child support to their children. Florida Child Support Guidelines determine the amount of support each parent is required to pay. These guidelines can be found in Florida Statute 61.30. Child support amounts are dependent upon income and adjusted to consider health insurance, daycare and parental timesharing.

Whether you are just starting the divorce process or are trying to have an existing child support order altered, it is important that you have a skilled and knowledgeable attorney to make sure you are paying or receiving the correct amount of child support. Florida child support guidelines are outlined in Florida Statutes and are extremely specific as to the amount of child support each parent owes their child.

While not required by law, the parties may agree that one or both parents shall be responsible for healthcare payments, health insurance payments, daycare, private school tuition, and school uniforms.
