Jacksonville Divorce and Child Support Attorneys
The Florida state child support calculator uses a formula where income and expenses of both spouses and other factors are entered to determine the amount of child support to be paid. In many cases, child support calculations are more challenging to generate due to various factors such as, self-employment, small-business ownership or hidden income streams. You need a divorce attorney from Elrod & Elrod who will dig deep and get to the facts.

When Child Support Calculations Become Complex
Money matters can create disputes within the most cooperative divorces. States around the country developed the child support guidelines to prevent disagreements. Issues arise when one spouse enjoys a self-employed income or owns a business. They control the books. They determine what income they will report. They can even exaggerate expenses in an effort to pay less in financial support for their children.
Fighting for the Best Outcome in a Child Support Agreement
At Elrod & Elrod, we attend to every detail of a divorce proceeding and recognize the importance of child support. Information must be factual and we will team with financial experts to find out the truth. Trading money for your children by wanting more custody is a common tactic that ignores what the courts and our firm values most: the best interests of the child.
Mediation of a child support agreement is preferred. However, if courtroom litigation provides the best outcome, we will pursue a trial and keep your children out of the middle.
