Child Support

It is important to know that Child Support belongs to the children, it cannot be waived by the Primary Residential Parent. Child Support is also statutory in Florida, meaning that the statute itself determines the amount of child support based on the net monthly income of the parents.

The most critical aspect of the preparation of the Child Support Guideline Worksheets for presentation to the Court is determining the net monthly income of the parents. My MBA and financial background gives you the advantage in making sure that those calculations include the right amount of income for both of the parents.

Another important aspect of child support is determining who gets the tax deductions for the minor children. This is an important aspect of negotiating a settlement or taking a case to trial. My finance background gives me a good foundation on which to build legal arguments to get you maximum advantage of the dependent's tax deduction.

Parents have an obligation to support their children financially. If you are having trouble with unpaid child support, I can help you enforce your award, collect past due child support and make sure future child support is collected promptly. Similarly, if you are still paying child support for a child who is an adult, then call me to discuss what we can do to correct the problem and get things back to where they should be.
