Change Your Child Custody Agreements and Alimony By Consulting a DeFuniak Springs Attorney
In Florida, a court will modify alimony and child support if there has been a substantial change of circumstances since the divorce was finalized. Some factors to support modification are:
- Income
- Employment status
- Remarriage
- Retirement
To modify child support payments, Florida courts may also look to the child support guidelines as a basis that meets a substantial change in circumstance in a limited scope:
“The difference between the existing monthly obligation and the amount provided for under the guidelines shall be at least 15 percent or $50, whichever amount is greater, before the court may find that the guidelines provide a substantial change in circumstances.”
Section 61.30 (1)(b)
