Child Support Attorney Miami Lakes
Child support is a crucial aspect of family law that ensures children receive the financial support they need from both parents, regardless of the parents’ relationship status. At Annette Sanchez Law, P.A., we understand the complexities of child support laws in Florida and are committed to helping our clients navigate this often challenging area of family law.
Understanding Child Support in Florida
In Florida, child support is determined by a set of guidelines that take into account various factors, including:
- The income of both parents
- The number of children
- The amount of time each parent spends with the children
- Childcare costs
- Health insurance expenses
- Any special needs of the children
Our experienced attorneys can help you understand how these factors apply to your specific situation and what you can expect in terms of child support payments.
Calculating Child Support
While Florida provides a standard formula for calculating child support, the process can be complex, especially when dealing with high-income cases, self-employed parents, or situations involving special needs children. Our team at Annette Sanchez Law, P.A. can:
- Accurately calculate child support based on Florida’s guidelines
- Help gather and present necessary financial documentation
- Argue for deviations from the guidelines when appropriate
- Ensure that all sources of income are properly considered
Modifying Child Support
Life circumstances can change, and child support orders may need to be modified. Reasons for modification might include:
- Significant changes in income
- Changes in the child’s needs
- Changes in time-sharing arrangements
- Emancipation of a child
Our attorneys can help you petition for a modification of child support or defend against a modification request, ensuring that the best interests of the child are always prioritized.
Enforcing Child Support Orders
When a parent fails to pay court-ordered child support, it can create significant hardship for the child and the custodial parent. We can assist with enforcement measures, including:
- Filing contempt of court motions
- Seeking wage garnishment
- Placing liens on property
- Intercepting tax refunds
- Suspending driver’s licenses or professional licenses
