Child Support

It is important to know that Child Support belongs to the children and cannot be waived by the Parents.  Child Support is statutory in Florida, meaning that the statute or law itself determines the amount of child support based on the net monthly income of the parents.

The most critical aspect in the preparation of the Child Support Guideline Worksheets is determining the net monthly income of the parents.  Obviously, in many instances parties try to understate or hide their income my MBA and financial background help us calculate the right amount of income for both of the parents.

Another important aspect of child support is determining who gets the tax deductions for the minor children.  This is an important aspect of negotiating a settlement or taking a case to trial.

As a divorce attorney with a finance background, I can provide a good foundation on which to build legal arguments to help you.

Parents have an obligation to support their children financially.  If you are having trouble with unpaid child support, we can help you take the correct legal steps to try and enforce your award, collect past due child support, and make sure future child support is collected promptly.
