Merritt Island Child Support Modification Lawyers
Receiving adequate child support is crucial to the well-being of your children. Unfortunately, this issue sometimes becomes just one more battle in the war between the parents. With the assistance of an experienced family law attorney, however, both parties can concentrate on the needs of the children, rather than the problems between the parents.
For help with child support enforcement and modification, come to Caruso Swerbilow & Camerota PA. Our family law attorneys have more than 30 years of combined experience. We understand that the relationship between you and the other parent may be contentious, so we work hard to keep everyone focused on what is best for the children. To discuss your child support needs, please call 321-684-4815 or contact us online.
Enforcement and Modification
Florida has statutory guidelines for determining child support, based primarily on each parent's income and the number of overnight visits with the secondary residential parent. In general, if a parent has 40 percent or more of the time sharing, they pay less child support. The court may also require child support payments for specific needs such as day care, health insurance and educational expenses.
If you are not receiving court-ordered child support payments, we can help you with enforcement and contempt actions. Contact us as soon as possible so we can get the process started and you can begin receiving payments.
We also assist parents with modification of child support orders. Usually, child support agreements can be modified if there is a significant change in financial circumstances such as:
- Remarriage of a parent
- Loss of employment by a parent
- Diminished or enhanced income from employment by a parent
- Children no longer living at home
Call our Brevard County child support attorneys at 321-684-4815 to discuss the reasons for modifying your child support obligations. We can assess your situation and explain your options.
