How Child Support Rights for Fathers is Unfair

We have found time and time again that the odds can be stacked against non-custodial fathers. For example, claims are often made for sole physical custody of the child. Many times this is not because it is truly in the child's best interests, but because the custodial parent’s child support will decrease if custody is shared between the parents. Our family law firm fights against this type of hypocrisy every day in our effort to level the playing field in custody disputes.

Florida Child Support Law

The Florida Child Support Guidelines govern the amount of child support paid. These Florida child support statutes have ruled that child support be based on the net income of both parents. The costs of daycare, health insurance and un-reimbursed medical expenses are all factored into the Guideline amounts. However, a departure from the Florida Child Support Guidelines is possible if there are significant travel costs for visitation, or by agreement between the parties. Modifications of the original support order can be requested when financial circumstances change.

Our skilled Family Law Attorneys can help the men who are charged with contempt of court for failing to pay child support. Such charges are often a result of a significant change in the father's circumstances, and can be caused by a serious illness or losing a job. If you have fallen behind in your child support obligations because of a changing financial situation, we can help by petitioning the court for modification of support orders.
