Support Plans That Work: More Than a Number
Child support is determined by the numbers. In most cases in Florida, child support payments are determined by combining the income of the two parents, and is apportioned based on how often each parent has the children in their care. The parent who has majority of the parenting time (timesharing) is the one who receives child support.
Other times, it's just not that simple.
There are protections for those people who are underemployed or unemployed, divorcing or unmarried. Court orders take care of this in a matter of days, not months, provided you act quickly, which Attorney C. Craig Stella can help you do.
Put Together a Parenting Plan That Works for You
There are also many situations where both parents are actively involved and that is reflected in the parenting plan. This affects child support for both parties, as you do not need to provide support for a child when custody is split in half.
An experienced qualified lawyer can help you through the process and protect your financial rights. At the Fort Lauderdale offices of the Stella Law Firm, we help individuals throughout South Florida come up with support payment plans that work.
The court is empowered to provide an equitable result in other circumstances, such as a gifted child or a child with special needs or handicaps, but its first priority is to protect the rights of the children involved.

We also handle child support modifications and judgment enforcement actions for families who cannot get their child support plan to work or when other changes in circumstances occur which were not relevant at the time the final divorce decree.
