Florida Child Support
Florida child support law has a basic approach that looks at several different factors to determine an amount of support to be paid.
Divorce Doctors can help with your Florida child support issues.
This basic approach looks at the income of the parents, health insurance cost, uncovered medical costs, child care costs and any other additional expenses. Florida child support laws have these figures entered into a complex, statewide formula. The result is that figures entered anywhere across the state will result in a common amount of child support.

Florida’s child support system also has the same issues as are present in other states. Under Florida child support laws, the purpose of child support is to ensure that children are properly cared for and that there are resources available for this purpose.
While some parents who have to pay child support may complain that the money is wasted or that it is not used for the children, this complaint often has little effect. Unless there is some gross mismanagement or wasting of the funds, there will rarely be a requirement of accounting of the parent receiving child support. Florida child support laws do not require it.
What could happen if a child support obligation is not paid?
There is also the problem of some parents not paying child support. This causes a host of problems. The parent that is not paying the support can be forced to appear in court and can even be jailed or ordered to pay fines. The child also suffers as they receive no support.
While Florida child support law does not allow parties to waive child support, it does allow such matters to be addressed outside of the courts through divorce mediation. When this method is used, the chances of payment and receipt are increased and the end result is that the child is in a better position.

Parties to a divorce need to understand the issue of child support and realize that Florida child support laws cannot be bent or waived. If there is a child, then support will be paid. However, this, like any other area, such as child custody, can be addressed in divorce mediation.
Prior to commencing divorce litigation, consider submitting your case to mediation and allowing a divorce professional assist you in resolving your case outside of court. Florida child support laws can be overwhelming and if there are disputes over amounts of income or expenses, mediation can save thousands of dollars in court and legal fees.
