How the State Calculates Child Support

State courts generally determine child support based on statutory guidelines. The court assesses several factors in calculating payments, including:

  • Child care expenses
  • Health insurance costs 
  • The total number of children
  • The net income of each parent
  • The specific time-sharing arrangement

You may still owe child support depending on the income calculations and the time-sharing schedule, even if you share substantial time with your child.

For families in the area, the St. Johns County court system usually handles these matters as part of a divorce, paternity, or other family law cases. Disputed income, incomplete expense reporting, or one parent’s self-employment can quickly complicate issues that initially appear simple. Our child financial maintenance attorneys in Ponte Vedra Beach could help you organize the financial details, identify legal issues early, and build an accurate and credible position.

If you need help with a child support case, contact a Ponte Vedra Beach child support lawyer from our firm today. Our attorneys could explain your options and discuss the steps available in your case. Problems? Pick Porter!™
