Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Child support?

Child Support is determined pursuant to Florida Statute �61.30. The calculation takes into consideration the gross income of the parties, allowable deductions, such as health insurance and daycare costs to determine the support each party will be responsible to contribute of the minor children. It also takes into consideration the amount of time the child is in your custody. In 2003 the law was changed to include what is known as the Gross-up method. This takes the support calculation a step further adding a calculation when the non-residential party has the child 40% or more of the overnights.
