Children need both emotional support and financial support from their parents. If children are involved in a Florida family law case, child support will be an issue. In the State of Florida, any child under the age of eighteen has the right to be financially supported by both parents.

How is Child Support Calculated?

Unlike alimony, which is determined based on a balance of assets and liabilities, child support is determined in Florida family law based on a mathematical formula using both parties’ net incomes. There are other determining factors, such as over nights, health insurance, and daycare, which can affect this number as well.

While child support guidelines generate a specific support amount, there are certain cases in which child support can often be higher or lower depending on the situation. For example, if child has special needs or medical issues, these factors can often times be taken into account when calculating child support.
