The Right Amount and The Right Services
Are you paying too much? Not getting enough? There are steps you can take to find out.
Are you facing child custody or child support issues in Miami, FL? De La Rosa-Monroe Law Firm is here to provide you with expert legal guidance and representation. Our team of experienced child custody lawyers and child support attorneys is dedicated to helping you navigate the complexities of family law, ensuring the best possible outcome for you and your child.
Child support depends on each parent’s income and how much time is spent with the child. A parent can see their child every day and not get credit when it comes to calculation of their financial obligation to the other parent. We ensure that our client understands how time with their child impacts monthly child support payments. The non-payment of child support is never a good reason to withhold visitation with the other parent. A child needs the financial support of both parents, but the amount should be fair.

Child Support Modification
If your financial situation changes, we can assist you in seeking a modification of child support orders. A few years ago, the law changed so that the time that you spend with your child drastically affects what you pay for child support. If you do not have a parenting plan with timesharing, have a substantial change in your income, or are making less money, you may be eligible for a child support modification. You may also be able to stop your child support payments if you now have the child full time or the timesharing between the parents has drastically changed. Our child support lawyers will help you determine the appropriate amount of child support based on your financial circumstances.
Defense of Child Support Enforcement
A parent can feel railroaded by the child support enforcement system if they do not know their rights. Before you agree to a timesharing schedule or to a child support amount, have your case assessed to determine what are your rights and the consequences of any agreement. Failure to participate in the process could affect you financially in the future.
Child Support Termination
If your child is 18 or over and the child support payments never stopped coming out of your paycheck, it is time for you to take action. Generally, most child support obligations end at the age of 18 or 19, if the child is in high school. Not all child support orders were written to automatically terminate. We will take legal action to enforce child support orders if the other party is not meeting their obligations.
F.A.Qs
Child support is determined by a formula established by Florida statutes. The formula considers both parties’ incomes, allowable deductions, daycare, and medical insurance premiums. The timesharing each party exercises may or may not affect the child support amount.
An income deduction order allows the recipient parent of child support to be paid directly by the paying parent’s employer through payroll deductions. The payment may be sent directly to the recipient parent or processed through the State Disbursement Unit, which offers different payment options, including direct deposit, check, or pre-paid card.
If you have a child support case, the parent seeking support may have an attorney assigned to their case for collection of child support, but they will not represent you in establishing or modifying parental responsibility, timesharing, or other parenting issues related to your children. Their sole focus is to collect child support on behalf of the minor child.
