How Is Child Support Calculated in Florida?

Some of the many factors that go into determining child support include:

Is Child Support Based on Gross or Net Income in Florida?

Child support in Florida is based on the parents’ combined net incomes (gross income minus allowable deductions).

Do You Have To Pay Child Support if You Have 50/50 Custody in Florida?

Under Florida law, one parent is required to provide child support, regardless of the custody arrangement. Even if both parents share 50/50 custody of the child, it is unlikely that each parent’s total monthly expenses are exactly the same and that their salaries are identical. In determining which parent will pay child support, Florida family courts consider several factors, with annual income being one of the most important.

“They were very efficient, pleasant, and professional.”

We used P,J,S & R PA to generate an Operating Agreement for a newly formed LLC and to file several Quit Claim Deeds for the purchased property. They were very efficient, pleasant, and professional. Based on this very positive experience, we would recommend this company, and would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

“The firm surely does stand by its name as Your Advocates!”

I hired this firm to help handle an eviction matter. The matter was contested and went to trial. Richard Ricciardi, Esq. handled the matter along with their great legal assistants. The case ended up in trial and we won with the help and expertise of Richard. He was extremely professional throughout the journey and very experienced in this matter. I would recommend this firm to anybody in an uncontested eviction, contested eviction or any legal needs. The professionalism and value I received was a pleasant surprise. The firm surely does stand by its name as Your Advocates! Thank you Richard, Tammy, Catherine, Francy and everybody for your support!
