Why families come to Connect Attorneys
Connect Attorneys is a Miami law firm serving clients throughout South Florida. Our family law attorneys focus on giving clients clear information and steady guidance, explaining how Florida law may apply and what to expect at each stage. Every client works directly with an attorney, and we serve South Florida families in English and Spanish.
How Child Support Is Calculated in Florida
Florida calculates child support using a statewide formula that considers both parents' incomes, the number of children, the time-sharing schedule, and certain costs such as health insurance and childcare. Because the guideline figures change over time, we do not publish specific dollar amounts here; we help each client apply the current guidelines to their own numbers.

Establishing, Enforcing, and Modifying Support
We help parents set up a child support order, enforce an order when the other parent is not paying, and seek a modification when circumstances change. A modification generally requires a substantial change, such as a significant shift in income or in the time-sharing schedule.

Serving Miami-Dade Families
Child support matters in Miami-Dade are generally handled through the Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court and the Miami-Dade Clerk of the Courts. From our Brickell Avenue office, we help parents throughout South Florida understand their rights and obligations.
This is general information about Florida law, not legal advice. How these rules apply depends on the details of your situation. Talking with an attorney is the clearest way to understand what they mean for you.
