Child Support
Child Support is a very important issue in Family Law. The attorneys of Brush, Pujol & Coyle are dedicated to helping their clients with child support matters. Our attorneys understand how essential this issue is and will strive to make sure your legal rights are protected.
According to the Association for Children for Enforcement of Support (ACES), there are 826,337 children in Florida that are owed $4,842,733,033 in unpaid support.
The amount of child support is generally determined by a mathematical formula contained in the Child Support Guidelines located in the Florida Statutes. This formula is based on the income of the parties. Even though child support is based on a statutory guideline, it can still be a very complicated issue and one that is often highly contested. Therefore, it is important that you contact an attorney who is experienced in these matters. The attorneys of Brush, Pujol & Coyle handle child support and family law matters in Lakeland and Polk County Florida as well as throughout Central Florida.
Modification of Child Support:
Child Support Modification is an issue that most commonly arises following a divorce. Child Support modification issues typically occur after a Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage when either parent’s financial circumstances substantially change. This can be if one parent loses his or her job, gets a promotion or retires. Modification actions can be complex and are often highly contested. If your circumstances have substantially changed, please contact the law office of Brush, Pujol & Coyle to see if our attorneys can assist you with a modification of your child support.
