Jacksonville Child Support Lawyer
Divorce settlements, in addition to resolving difficult issues such as the division of property and child custody, we also must consider financial support to the custodial parent or former spouse. In most cases, child support will be ordered by the court pursuant to Florida Statutes. Spousal support, on the other hand, may or may not be required at all and there is much more discretion in that type of award.
At the Lasky Law Firm, our Jacksonville child support lawyers help clients throughout northeast Florida and provide experienced, effective legal representation and guidance in both child support and alimony-related concerns. In each of these matters, we take a hands-on, aggressive legal approach with one primary goal in mind:
Securing a sound financial future for you and your family.
Our firm can assist you with:
- Temporary alimony and bridge-the-gap alimony
- Permanent periodic alimony
- Rehabilitative alimony
- Lump sum, non-modifiable alimony
- Spousal support or alimony modification
- Child support beyond the age of majority for adult dependent children

Protect Your Rights
The Florida child support guidelines create a mathematical formula that is utilized by courts to compute child support awards. While the formula is straightforward, child support cases can be complex. Unique issues that may arise include:
- Calculation of income in cases involving self-employed spouses
- Imputing income to voluntarily unemployed parties
- High child care costs resulting from a child’s illness, disability or physical impairment
- Treatment of seasonal income or bonus pay
- Child support deviations in cases involving special circumstances
