Parental Responsibility, Time Sharing, and Child Support
Determining a time sharing plan can lead to emotional disputes during which both parents can forget what is best for the children. The state of Florida determines both time sharing and child support based on a variety of factors:
- The finances of both parents
- Any violence in the relationship
- The best interests of the child
Attorney Michael Lechtman has served Florida families for more than 35 years and is skilled in the effective negotiation of fair and reasonable custody and support agreements. He can help clearly identify your legal goals, draft fair financial arrangements, and ensure that your child is not used punitively by a former spouse during a dispute. When necessary, he can assertively represent your interests in court.
If you are paying child support and your child spends significant overnight time with you, you may be able to get a reduction in child support. Contact us to find out more.
Modification and Enforcement of Decrees
Parental responsibility, time sharing, and child support decrees need to be revisited to account for life changes such as remarriage or a change in financial circumstances or living arrangements. Michael Lechtman has helped countless Florida families review, negotiate, or litigate post-judgment issues, especially if there has been domestic violence.
