Probably not. As long as he is employed, or able bodied and voluntarily unemployed/underemployed, the Court will likely Order child support to be paid per the statutory formula.

If you opt to proceed without the assistance of counsel, be aware that you will not be entitled to a �do over� if things go badly.

The above information is provided without any consideration/payment having been received, and without full knowledge of all of the facts.

An internet inquiry is no substitution for an in-office consultation with an attorney.

Call me to discuss the specifics of your case. I will give you a realistic idea as to the likely cost (fees and expenses). Then if you want, we can schedule a no-obligation office consultation.

Please do not send text messages.

If you have the child a majority of the time then he will be ordered to pay child support as required by FL law. Contact my office for free consultation 727-446-7659.
