Fort Lauderdale Child Custody And Child Support Attorney
CHILD CUSTODY
If you are contemplating a divorce and you have minor children, one of your biggest concerns is how the divorce will affect the children and what you can do to ensure that the children are able to come through the divorce emotionally unscathed.
In October 2008, the Florida custody laws changed so that all cases regarding a minor child require a parenting plan. The parenting plan must set forth in detail the responsibilities of each parent for the various tasks that are necessary to properly rear a child, such as: how time–sharing will be divided between the parents, which parent will be responsible for the child’s medical care. It is always in your best interests, and the child’s best interests, to try to negotiate the terms of a parenting plan with the other parent rather than have a court tell you what the terms of your parenting plan will be. Negotiating a workable parenting plan with the other parent is the best way to avoid the need to return to court. At your initial consultation, we will help you establish and implement custody and time-sharing arrangements that are in the best interests of your child while aggressively protecting your rights as a parent.
At The Law Office of Karen D. Faulkner, P.A., we are highly experienced in handling all kinds of child custody disputes, whether they arise out of a divorce, a paternity action or a grandparent seeking temporary custody of the children.

CHILD SUPPORT
Under Florida Law, parents have a duty to provide financial support for their children. In the context of divorce, the amount of child support a parent will have to pay to the other parent is based upon such factors as: the relative incomes of each parent, existing child support obligations, the number of children in the family and the amount of time the children spend with each parent. At your initial consultation, we can calculate a rough estimate as to the amount of child support you or the other parent will pay in accord with the statutory child support guidelines. We will explain to you exactly how we determine the child support obligation.
At The Law Office of Karen D. Faulkner, P.A., we will explain to you, in detail, everything you need to know about child support and how it is calculated.
