Child Support Tampa and
Alimony Lawyers
If
you are a Florida resident, the divorce law provides for both child and spousal
support. Spousal support is also referred to as alimony. Although there are
guidelines provided for calculating the payment amounts, it is advisable to
consult with your divorce attorney in Tampa to ensure that you are either
paying or receiving the correct remuneration.
Child Support Considerations
Although
the State of Florida provides child support guidelines to help determine
calculations, it is important to include all expenses that you are incurring to
support your children. This is necessary to ensure that you receive a fair
outcome. The Law Offices of Steven Glaros & Associates ensures that our
clients include the following if applicable:
·
Number of children
·
Cost of Health insurance
·
Day care costs and/or private school tuition
·
Amount of time allowed to spent with your
children
·
Music lessons,sports activities and summer
camp
These
are included in a number of issues that can determine the amount of child
support that you will either receive or pay.
Alimony Considerations
In
the state of Florida, there are several types of alimony provided depending
upon your personal circumstances. The alimony alternatives range from temporary
to permanent, as well as rehabilitative. You can also either pay or receive a
lump sum of money. Your specific circumstances will determine the type of
alimony and amount paid. To determine the fairest settlement, the judge will
consider the following:
·
The length of the marriage
·
What each person contributed to the marriage
·
Who was at fault in the marriage's
dissolution
·
One party's need for support
·
The other party's ability to make support
payments
Are Alimony Payments Subject
to Change?
If
circumstances change, an alimony award may be modified. For example, if alimony
payments have not been made, a modification to the agreement may be possible.
Additionally, Florida law prohibits individuals from receiving alimony if they
are living with a person who supports them. If this occurs, the paying party
can seek a modification of the amount of the alimony payments.
Obtaining the Correct
Information
When
calculating either child support or alimony payments, it is critical to
document all the available assets. As your Tampa divorce lawyer, The Law
Offices of Steven Glaros & Associates works to uncover financial records,
bank accounts, and credit card information. If necessary, to ensure fairness,
we use forensic accountants to uncover any hidden or non-disclosed property.
Additionally, in case of alimony disputes, vocational evaluators may be
consulted to discover whether an individual is capable of being employed, as
well as their income potential.
