We Handle Both Child Support Modification and Enforcement Matters
At Bogin, Munns & Munns, our legal team includes experts who focus on many different aspects of the law. That means we are equipped to handle any child support issues you present to us, including:
Child Support Modification
Even if you sign a child support agreement in good faith, an unexpected change in circumstances can make it harder or impossible for you to meet your obligations.
For example, if you cannot find a job or develop a long-term illness, you might be unable to make child support payments, no matter how much you want to.
When something happens, tell us right away. We will need to act quickly to notify the other parent and the court about what has occurred and change the original agreement to reflect your current situation.
Alternatively, if you and/or your former partner believe the current agreement must be changed for another reason (e.g., you have altered your parenting plan, so you are now spending extra time with your children), we can work with you both to see if a change is necessary and get the modification approved.
Child Support Enforcement
Unfortunately, not all parents abide by the support agreement. Some may be irresponsible individuals who do not understand or care about the importance of paying support. Others may simply have been too embarrassed to admit they were having financial troubles and needed a modification.
Either way, stopping payments without warning is not acceptable. You have options for making your former partner fulfill their obligations to your shared children:
- We may start by reaching out to see if there is a problem or misunderstanding that can be easily resolved.
- Our legal team can then try to work with the other party and their legal representative to arrive at a new understanding as soon as possible.
- If all else fails, we can take the other party to court to compel them to pay whatever support they owe and make regular payments going forward.
Drafting the Child Support Agreement
If you and your former partner have not yet figured out who should pay child support and how much, we can help with this as well. Our team can help both parents come to an agreement that is in accordance with Florida’s child support law.
Your children deserve financial stability and security. Our Ocala child support lawyers can fight to ensure they get it. Call now to learn more.
