Child and Spousal Support

Skilled Counsel on Support Obligations

Whether a child's parents have gotten divorced or were never married in the first place, that child deserves financial support from both parents to the best of their ability. When a couple that has previously formed an economic unit gets divorced, one spouse may also have a right to financial support.

At James C. Campbell, P.A., in Shalimar, Florida, we help clients pursue fair child and spousal support outcomes. Contact us to talk to experienced family lawyer James C. Campbell.

Ensuring Children Get the Support They Deserve

Child support in Florida is based on a formula that takes into account the income of each parent. Once the basic child support amount is determined, it can be supplemented by specific obligations for medical coverage, life insurance, day care and other expenses.

One major issue in some child support cases is accurately measuring the income of someone who owns a business, holds multiple jobs or earns irregular income. We can help you pursue a fair income determination for yourself or your spouse.

The state of Florida's administrative child support enforcement procedure can be time-consuming. When you need immediate action on child support enforcement, attorney James C. Campbell can help.

We can also help you seek modification of a child support obligation when the circumstances underlying the determination (the income of the parents and the supplemental needs of the child) have changed.

Contact us to learn more about your rights under the Florida child support laws and how we can help you pursue a desirable outcome.

Understanding Alimony in Florida

Spousal support, also known as alimony or spousal maintenance, is designed to maintain the lifestyle of one spouse who, during the marriage, came to depend economically on the other spouse. Alimony can be granted permanently or temporarily and depends on factors like the length of the marriage and the disparity in income between the spouses.

The court may also grant temporary support to one spouse during the divorce process and may grant spousal maintenance when a couple separates but does not divorce.
