The rewards and improvement on overall quality of life are two of the countless benefits of adopting a child. Many Florida residents who seek to adopt a child may be wondering what details go into the process, and what legal guidelines apply. Courts can arrange adoptions in a number of ways, and the family law surrounding adoptions can differ depending on state.

Child support guidelines and resources
Child support, in legal terms, is a topic of family law that determines the payment parents must make for the financial security of a child, usually after a divorce or separation. Florida uses what is called an income shares model, or a system that holds that a child should receive the same level of income that he or she would have received if the two parents lived together.
How to bring up a prenuptial agreement with your partner

How are the best interests of a child determined?
