Child Support
The determination of child support is one of the most important and critical decisions made in a family law case. Emotions will, naturally, run high, but our lawyers are experienced in helping reach the best results, based less on emotion and more on the real needs of the children and the parties involved.
Our firm represents clients located in the in the Northeast Florida area, including Jacksonville, Orange Park, St. Augustine, Fernandina Beach or in the areas around Duval, St. Johns, Nassau, and Clay counties requiring assistance and advice in matters relating to child support.
As part of a divorce or dissolution of a domestic partnership (or a Paternity suit), a court will determine the child support obligation of the non-custodial parent. Sometimes, the amount of child support ordered can be increased or decreased in the future, depending on the circumstances. Lawyers in our firm have experience handling both the original determination of child support and in seeking or, where appropriate, fighting against future changes in the amount of child support.
In Florida, the amount of child support is determined under statutory guidelines. It is important, however, to have a Lawyer experienced in these matters, as the "guideline" support amount may vary according to subtleties in your case you may not be aware of. A proper determination of child support is essential to your child's current and future well-being.
