In Florida, child support is determined by a statutory formula that takes into account the net incomes of both parents. The amount of child support awarded may be modified in the future to reflect changes in circumstances, such as changes in income or the amount of time-sharing (overnights) by each parent. It may be necessary to impute a minimum wage or retain the services of experts, such as vocational evaluation experts or forensic accountants, to determine a parent’s earning capacity and net disposable income. Child support is awarded regardless of whether the parents are married or unmarried, and additional expenses such as medical and dental costs, extracurricular activities, and education-related expenses may also be factored into the support award.
