Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
My wife was just recently served with child support papers. Currently her son is with his father and has been for the past two years. He was residing with us for 7 years prior to that. His father applied for food stamps and has been receiving them for the past year. The application he used has started the process to seek child support. Our question is whether or not to retain a lawyer for this case. The paperwork we received had a falsified financial affidavit stating his father does not work. He currently operates a profitable business under the table. We want to resolve this matter fairly.

Do not go into court without an attorney unless you understand Florida child support issues. Good luck.
You should definitelt consult eith a Florida family law attoirney (assuming that ais where the case was filed.) You can request additional financial information from the father to prove that he has other sources if income available to him.
