Child Support
In Florida, child support is largely determined by a formula set forth in the statutes. The formula takes into account the income of each parent, expenses of each party and the child's needs. Health care and day care expenses are also considered, as well as any other factors that the court deems appropriate. If one of the parents is not currently employed, the state will use the statutory minimum wage to make formula calculations.
Child Custody and Visitation
Family law courts generally believe that children are best served when they are able to have healthy relationships with both of their biological parents. Therefore, unless one of the parents is deemed unfit, parenting time will generally be shared. In arriving at visitation rights and specific parenting plans, judges will look at the circumstances of the parents, including income, living situations and support information.
In cases involving support and custody, your lawyer can present your situation in a manner that will ensure these issues are resolved fairly and equitably.
