Frequently Asked Questions About Child Support in Broward County
Child support decisions affect your finances and your child’s stability. These FAQs explain how child support works in Broward County and how an experienced attorney can help protect your rights.
How is child support calculated in Broward County?
Florida uses the income shares model, which considers both parents’ net incomes, the number of children, childcare costs, health insurance premiums, and the time-sharing schedule. The goal is to ensure children receive the same proportion of parental income they would have if the parents remained together.
Can child support be modified in Broward County?
Yes. A child support order can be modified if there is a substantial, material, and ongoing change in circumstances, such as job loss, income increase, relocation, or changes in the child’s needs. The court must approve any modification before it becomes legally effective.
What happens if child support is not paid?
If a parent fails to pay, the court can enforce the order through wage garnishment, driver’s license suspension, tax refund interception, liens, or contempt proceedings. A Broward County child support lawyer can help you pursue enforcement or defend against improper claims.
Do fathers have equal rights in Broward County child support cases?
Yes. Florida law does not favor mothers or fathers when calculating child support. Courts focus on income, time-sharing, and the child’s best interests. Fathers have the same rights to fair calculations, modifications, and enforcement as mothers.
Does time-sharing affect child support?
Absolutely. The number of overnights each parent has can significantly impact the support calculation. A substantial timesharing schedule adjustment may justify recalculating support under Florida guidelines.
Do I need a child support lawyer in Broward County?
While you can represent yourself, child support cases often involve complex income calculations, disputes over expenses, or enforcement issues. Working with a lawyer helps ensure accurate filings, protects your financial interests, and avoids costly mistakes.
