Child support can be confusing in Florida. One false step and you can end up in serious debt. You not only owe your child money but you can get into a situation where you owe fees and fines to the state. That is why it is essential to stay on top of your child support payments. However, you are not likely to pay forever. At some point, your obligation ends, but when is that?
Do child support obligations end with high school graduation?
Visitation is a long battle for many grandparents
The potentially complex process of deciding child custody arrangements can leave Florida parents feeling broken and out of options. Yet grandparents often experience similar situations, in which they are led to believe they would see a grandchild grow up but instead are not allowed to see them at all.
Do I have a right to see my child’s records?
Florida law expressly notes that you, as parent of the child, have the same rights as the child’s other parent to access your child’s records from many sources. This right extends to both parents unless a court has specifically taken that right away.
Proving your ex-spouse no longer needs alimony
When you and your spouse choose to divorce, the issue of alimony is one that can continue to cause contention between the two of you. He or she being awarded it may be viewed as some sort of punitive action against you. It is not meant to be; rather, spousal support is supposed to provide him or her with the same standard of living until he or she is in a position to once again secure gainful employment. However, many in Plantation have come to us here at The Minaya Law Offices, PLLC concerned that their ex-spouses, out of spite, might withhold information about their current circumstances in order to continue to collect alimony payments. Is this something you should be worried about?
Can I see my grandchildren even if their parent forbids it?
If the parent or guardian of your grandchildren is withholding the children from you, you may have rights to seek visitation through the court. But, it is far from automatic.
