A Parenting Plan Will Spell Out Custody And Visitation Arrangements

The court has the right to order child support according the Florida Child Support Guidelines. These guidelines are based on the income of each parent along with applicable deviation factors that may exist. If the parents cannot come to a reasonable agreement on the child support amount, the court will use the support guidelines located in the Florida statutes.

It is important to note that the court may adjust the minimum child support award, or either or both parents’ share, based upon a number of considerations.

Consult With An Experienced Family Law Attorney

Ideally, you and the other parent of your children can consider your children’s interests and craft your own agreement through conferences or mediation. Realistically, however, the other parent may prove to be difficult to work with and a judge may need to make decisions for your family.
