Orlando Child Support Attorney

Raising a child on your own can be disheartening. You want to give your child every opportunity, but without financial support from both parents, making ends meet can be a constant struggle. At Civil Family Resolutions Law Firm, we understand how exhausting and unfair this can be. That’s why our Orlando child support attorney is here to help you seek the financial resources your child needs through compassionate, strategic, and effective advocacy. Let us help you build the future you envision for your child.  

Understanding Child Support in Florida  

Child support is designed to ensure that children’s financial needs are met, even when their parents aren’t married. In Florida, child support calculations follow the income shares model, which divides financial responsibility between both parents based on:  

• The income of each parent.  
• The number of children involved.  
• The number of overnights the child spends with each parent.  

While the system aims to fairly share costs, the process isn’t always simple. Disputes, changing circumstances, and missed payments can make child support one of the most complex issues in family law. That’s why having an experienced Orlando child support attorney by your side is essential to protect your child’s interests and secure a fair resolution.  

Comprehensive Child Support Services in Orlando  

At Civil Family Resolutions Law Firm, we handle every aspect of child support—from establishing initial orders to modifications and enforcement—so your family can move forward with clarity and confidence.  

Establishing Child Support  

Determining the initial child support payment can be daunting. This process involves filing a legal petition, gathering financial information, and accounting for your child’s different needs.

Here’s how we’ll help:  

• Filing Legal Petitions: We’ll file all necessary documents accurately and on time.  
• Building a Strong Case: Our team will collect detailed financial information and evidence to support your claim.  
• Advocating for Fair Support: We’ll fight for a payment amount that meets your child’s needs while being fair to both parents.  

We understand the importance of getting child support right from the start, and we’ll work tirelessly to achieve the best outcome for your family.  

Modifying Child Support  

Life changes, and so do financial circumstances. If your income or your child’s needs have shifted, a child support modification may be necessary to reflect the new situation.  

In Florida, you can request a modification if there has been a significant change in circumstances, such as:  

• A job loss or new employment.  
• Increased medical, educational, or childcare expenses.  
• Changes in custody or visitation schedules.  

Our Orlando child support attorney will guide you through the modification process, including filing supplemental petitions, gathering evidence, and presenting your case in court. We’ll fight for an updated agreement that is fair and reflective of your child’s current needs.  

Enforcing Child Support  

When child support payments aren’t made, it can cause financial strain and jeopardize your child’s well-being. Florida law provides several tools to enforce child support, including:  

• Wage Garnishment: Payments are automatically deducted from the non-paying parent’s paycheck.  
• Contempt of Court: This can result in penalties such as fines, license suspension, or even jail time for the non-compliant parent.  
• Asset Seizure: In some cases, funds can be collected from bank accounts or tax refunds to cover unpaid child support.  

We’ll work quickly and effectively to enforce child support orders, helping you secure the resources you need to restore your child’s stability.
