In Florida, child support is determined by specific guidelines. While a child support calculator may by an accurate gauge for payments in most situations, high asset divorces often require more complex plans. If you have extenuating circumstances, we can help you file a motion to deviate from the guidelines. Whether you have a child with special needs or you have private school tuition and other expenses to consider, you can come up with a fair agreement through mediation.

In some circumstances, the party receiving support already makes a substantial amount of money. In these cases, one parent might benefit more from the tax deduction. By using mediation to develop a plan tailored to the needs of your family, you can set aside a particular amount for support in addition to particular needs, like braces, as they present themselves. The primary parent will claim the children as a deduction, unless both parties otherwise agree.

Support Enforcement and Modifications

The best child support plans only work when they are followed by both parties. We handle child support enforcement for people who are not getting the payments they need to support their kids properly. If you have built up significant arrears after a significant change in your financial status, we can help you look into an appropriate post-divorce modification.
