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.
