CustodiaSupport Attorney
Child support is about your child’s security — and getting the numbers right. Whether you’re establishing support, questioning a calculation, or chasing unpaid amounts, we help you understand your options and take informed next steps.
What Affects Child Support in Florida
Florida calculates child support under statewide guidelines — but what goes into the formula is often where cases are won or lost. Accurate financial information matters, because even small errors change the result.
Both Parents’ Income
The calculation starts with each parent’s income, plus health insurance and childcare costs. Every figure counted affects the bottom line.
Time-Sharing’s Effect
The more overnights a parent has, the more it shifts the number. Support and time-sharing are calculated together, not separately.
Deviations & Adjustments
Courts can adjust the guideline amount for a child’s medical needs, educational costs, or other circumstances the formula doesn’t capture.
Cumplimiento de pagos
Unpaid support has teeth. Florida can garnish wages, suspend licenses, intercept tax refunds, and hold a nonpaying parent in contempt.
Support Help for Every Stage
Whether you’re setting up support for the first time or fighting years of nonpayment, we handle both the math and the courtroom. We make sure the financial information behind your case is complete and accurate, pursue enforcement when a parent won’t comply, and advocate for — or defend against — a modification when circumstances genuinely change.
