Modifying Child Support and Child Custody
In addition to enforcement cases, we will also represent you in modifications of existing court orders, which may involve:
- Child support
- Parenting plans & time sharing (custody & visitation)
- Spousal support / maintenance / alimony
- Relocations or move-away cases
Paternity
Many fathers mistakenly believe that the court always awards custody to the mother simply because she is the mother. That was a common result in the past, but it is not true now. Florida paternity law is non-gender biased, giving each parent an opportunity for a favorable result in family law cases.
A parent sometimes believes that he or she is entitled to the full amount of child support payments because he or she has primary custody of the child. The reality is that parenting plans generally provide for substantial time sharing for both parents, which in turn reduces the amount of child support that will be paid.
In paternity cases, it is not about you or your partner - it is about what is in the best interests of your child. We are here to help you resolve issues of paternity so that you can subsequently determine parenting plans, visitation, support and other issues that will affect your child.
Enforcement of Existing Court Orders
Enforcement is accomplished by having the court compel a person to do something that the court already ordered that person to do. In some cases, this may be signing a document that releases the title of a vehicle. In other cases, it may be asking for a contempt order when a parent owes child support and is behind on payments.
The Florida Department of Revenue may be involved in the collection and enforcement of court-ordered child support. Attorney Cheryl Bucker has dealt with the Department and served hundreds of family law clients, all of which helps us to obtain that to which you are entitled. To protect your rights and be sure the court's orders are enforced, seek the representation of an experienced family law attorney.
