Child Support Attorney for Tampa, Florida & Beyond: Call Maney | Gordon, P.A. Today

Child support laws in Florida are quite straightforward. Specific guidelines for child support are outlined in Chapter 61 of the Florida Statutes, section 30. In spite of these guidelines, however, a judge may decide to deviate from Florida law, depending on the judge’s opinion and the circumstances of the case. Due to these possible fluctuations, a child support case in St Petersburg may vary significantly from one in Tampa or Pasco County, even if each case involves similar family situations.

Child support, therefore, can be a tricky area of family law. If you are in the greater Tampa Bay area and you are involved in child support litigation, a child support attorney from Maney | Gordon, P.A. can assist you with all aspects of your case, including:

• Establishing paternity
• Establishing a fair and adequate amount of child support
• Adjusting child support payments if the parent is also paying alimony

• Covering medical expenses, health insurance, and educational costs for children
• Allowing for daycare expenses
