Going through a divorce can be difficult for a number of reasons, but if you have children it can be especially burdensome on both you and your child – emotionally and financially. Both parents should be responsible for child care after a divorce. In some cases, however, you may need a child support lawyer to ensure that your child’s best interests are not at risk.
A Boca Raton, Florida family lawyer can help you resolve issues surrounding child support. If both parties agree on guidelines for support, then these cases may be resolved fairly quickly. Sometimes, however, there may be some disagreement on how much support is needed. Florida child support attorneys are well-versed in these cases and know how to navigate the trial process to steer the outcome in your favor.
There are several factors that judges will look at in a child support case, should it be sent to trial:
- Number of children and ages
- Income of both parents
- Healthcare and day care costs
- Both parents’ time spent with child
- Special needs of the child
Your Boca Raton child support lawyer will work with you to determine the best course of action for your particular case. Child support is a continuous process, so even after your case is resolved, your family law attorney will be there to help you with any changes that may occur on the way – such as change in income or a sudden life change.
