Parents in Florida are required to provide financial support for their children, and courts in the state use certain factors to determine the amount of child support ordered. However, if there is a substantial change in circumstances, the court may allow a modification of the child support order. At Rafool, LLC, their experienced family law lawyers provide trustworthy representation for parents in Miami who are seeking or opposing changes in support.
Miami, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/24/2023 --If a parent is unable to meet their child support obligations due to a disability, long-term unemployment, or other factors, they can petition the court for a modification. In Florida, the court may consider a modification if the change in circumstances would reduce the support amount by at least 15 percent or $50 a month. Parents should be aware that an informal agreement does not relieve them of their legal obligation and any unpaid amounts can be enforced by the court.
On the other hand, a recipient parent may petition the court for an increased amount of child support if there are additional costs such as medical bills or educational expenses. The court may also consider a modification if a child has special needs or is displaying a special talent that requires additional nurturing.
