Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Can an X just resign from a job to stop paying alimony and child support? I need someone that practices in the greater Tampa Bay area in the near future.Does X have to pay my legal fees if I am taken back because he wants to stop paying?If he gets behind can I wait til he retires and then he will have to pay all that he is in behind? He will hide things by putting things in his new wifes name and also her families...Please answer,I put in 27+ yrs into this and helped him through college,we have been divorced almost 3 years now..Your answer greatly appreciated...

He cannot get out of paying child support by simply voluntarily limiting his income. If you can prove that he is voluntarily limiting his income, you have a good chance for the Court to Order him to reimburse your attorney fees and costs.

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.

If your situation falls within the Greater Tampa Bay area, I would be happy to schedule you for a no obligation half hour office consultation. The main office is in Dunedin, with a satellite location in Tampa.

Feel free to Google me.

Good Luck, Elliot Goldstein
