APPEALING FLORIDA CHILD SUPPORT ORDERS

Appeals from child support orders are routinely handled by Florida Divorce & Child Custody Appeal Lawyers.  These appeals take place both at the district court of appeal level and, in post judgment matters, at the trial court level. 

The most common errors committed by trial courts when it comes to child support are incorrectly determining either party’s actual income and incorrectly imputing (or failing to impute) income to one party.  

Below are explanations of some of the most commonly asked questions and topics that relate to appealing child support:

The judge did not take into account the fact that my child’s other parent was not working as hard as they used to once the child support case.  Was that an error?
