Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I pay my ex-wife $250 per month for the support of my two children who both live with me here in Florida. She lives in Nevada and sees them for only a few days at a time twice a year when she flies them there at her expense. I pay all of their other expenses. She pays for nothing except the plane fare. I want to move for an order relieving me from paying child support. What are my chances of success?

Child support is based on a formula which looks at the comparative finances of the parties and how many overnights each party has with the kids. Based upon your representations, you likely have an excellent chance of having your child support ended.

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.

Do not send any text messages.

Sincerely, Elliot Goldstein

Not sure why you pay support when the kids live with you. You should petition the court for relief, your chances are good. Contact my office for free consultation 727-446-7659
