Child Support

Both parents are responsible for supporting their minor children. This is true for both married and unmarried couples who have a child together. Sometimes, a spouse refuses to pay the appropriate child support.   Courts may often enter a temporary support order requiring one party to pay the appropriate amount of support while the dissolution of marriage or paternity case is being litigated. 

Pursuant to Florida Child Support Guidelines Laws, both parties’ incomes, work related daycare expenses and health insurance costs for the child are factored in the formula to determine the appropriate amount of child support. In addition, the amount of time-sharing that both parents have is typically factored into the child support calculations.
