Guidance in Establishing Child Support Agreements
In Florida, child support is calculated using a worksheet established by Florida statutes, which takes into consideration the income of both parties, the number and needs of the children, as well as day care and medical expenses.
Attorney Hughes will help you establish and implement a parenting plan that places a priority on the best interests of your children. Once the parenting plan is in place, he will help you complete the child support worksheet, making certain that all income is factored into the determination, including self-employment, seasonal and commission-based income. He will review any proposed child support agreements from your ex-spouse for compliance with statutory guidelines.
The Modification of an Existing Child Support Order
If your divorce is final, but there has been a substantial change in circumstances, making it difficult or impossible to abide by the terms of your existing child support order, attorney Hughes can help you petition the court for a modification. This can occur when there is a substantial change in a parent's circumstances or a child's circumstances. This can include a change in income, health issues, educational or religious concerns, or changes in the child's social activities or developmental needs.
