How Is Child Support Calculated?
In Florida, both parents are legally responsible for supporting their minor child, regardless of whether they were ever married. The state has established a set of guidelines to help determine how much each parent should contribute. These guidelines take various factors into account, such as:
- How much each parent earns
- How much childcare and health insurance each cost
- How much time each parent spends with the child
While courts are allowed to deviate from the guidelines when there’s a legal basis for the departure, they only do so in rare instances. This might occur, for example, if the child has a medical condition that results in ongoing expenses. A child support lawyer can let you know whether the facts of your case could potentially justify a deviation from the standard guidelines.
