As your life changes, your child support plan should change with it. Whether one parent has less income after being fired, demoted, or retired, or one parent has less financial strain after remarriage, the state of Florida recognizes these changes. If there has been a shift of approximately twenty percent or more, up or down in the income of one party, you can file for a child support modification.
In many cases, the primary parent brings action against the other parent because they are earning more money than when the plan originated. In those cases, the non-residential parent must pay more child support. In other cases, the non-residential parent brings action to reduce payment after the primary parent has more financial resources. Whatever challenges you face, it is important to understand that you cannot receive more than one modification arise, unless unusual circumstances arise.
Voluntary Unemployment and Underemployment
One common concern in child support disputes and modification hearings is voluntary under-employment or unemployment. In these cases, the non-residential parent gets less work or chooses not to work at all as it gets closer to the final child support or modification decision, in order to make small payments or no payments at all. This behavior is damaging to the system as a whole, especially for parents who have been laid off or cannot find much work as they do everything they can to support their kids. Attorney B. Sure Foreman understands the problems caused by voluntary underemployment, and will do everything she can to fight against it.
