Pembroke Pines Child Support Lawyer

About Child Support in Broward County

Florida law imposes a duty on each parent to provide financial support for their minor children. Child Support obligations are calculated through the use of statutory guidelines. The basic components needed to calculate support include the parties' income, health insurance and health insurance costs, day care expenses incurred to enable the parents to work, and other expenses that were historically provided for the children provided that they are still affordable after the parties are divorced.

When it comes to the support of the children the courts are the most vigilant and have many tools to establish and enforce support awards including but not limited to the power of contempt which could result in the fine or imprisonment of a parent who fails to meet his/her established support obligation. It is therefore critically important that you ensure that your support obligation is calculated in conformity with the law and your ability to pay.
