Dealing with child support can be a challenging situation for both parents. It is important to understand the process and guidelines for calculating child support payments. At Dunlop, Dunlop & Dunlop, P.A., we can assist the Florida public with family law matters. Our experienced legal team can explain how child support is calculated and what to do if you are unable to make payments or your ex refuses to pay.
In Florida, child support is determined using a formula that takes into consideration the income of both parents, the time each parent spends with the child, and the child's needs. The formula is designed to provide for the child's basic needs such as food, shelter, and clothing. The court may also consider other factors such as healthcare costs, childcare expenses, and educational expenses.
If a parent is unable to make child support payments, they should notify the court as soon as possible. The parent may be able to modify the child support order based on a change in circumstances such as job loss, illness, or disability. In some cases, the court may order a parent to pay a reduced amount or temporarily suspend child support payments.
If a parent is not making child support payments as required, the other parent can take legal action to enforce the child support order. This may include garnishing wages, seizing assets, or putting a lien on property. In extreme cases, a parent who refuses to pay child support may face jail time.
In Florida, child support payments generally stop when the child reaches 18 years of age, unless the child is still attending high school or has special needs. If a child is attending college or vocational school, child support may continue until the child reaches 19 or graduates, whichever comes first.
A family law attorney can assist parents with child support matters such as calculating child support payments, modifying child support orders, and enforcing child support orders. An attorney can also explain the legal options available to parents who are struggling to make child support payments or are not receiving the support they are entitled to.
Child support can be a complex and emotionally charged issue. It is important for parents to understand their rights and responsibilities when it comes to child support.
