Whether you’re seeking to establish, modify, or enforce child support, our Miami family law attorneys can help you reach a fair resolution that puts your child’s needs first.
Child support isn’t just a number. It’s a cornerstone of your child’s well-being and your financial stability. Whether you’re the parent seeking support or the one being asked to pay, you deserve a clear, enforceable agreement that reflects your true circumstances and protects your child’s future.
At Nest Law, we represent high-earning professionals, entrepreneurs, and parents in complex Miami child support matters. We go beyond formulas to build smart, strategic solutions tailored to your family and your finances.
Florida child support guidelines are just the beginning. If you or your co-parent earns above the statutory threshold or has a nontraditional income structure, the calculations become more nuanced—and the consequences more significant.
We help clients:
Whether you’re a high earner facing an excessive demand or a parent struggling to secure what your child is owed, we bring clarity and control to the process.
Florida follows an “income shares model,” estimating what both parents would spend on a child if they lived together, then dividing that amount proportionally based on income.
Basic guideline factors include:
But guidelines only go so far. If your combined monthly net income exceeds $10,000, courts may apply “bonus” support amounts above the standard chart. That’s where we step in—to ensure your support order is truly fair.
For high-net-worth individuals and self-employed parents, determining income isn’t as simple as looking at a W-2.
We regularly handle child support cases involving:

…we take immediate, strategic action. That includes subpoenaing financial records, requesting discovery, and pushing for income imputation when appropriate.
We don’t let bad faith arguments slide. Your child deserves better—and so do you.
Our clients often want to go beyond the basics. We routinely help parents negotiate:
We can also address how support may change as your child ages or enters college. When flexibility and foresight matter, we deliver custom agreements that hold up.
If your co-parent is falling behind on payments, don’t wait. Unpaid child support doesn’t disappear, and Florida courts offer strong enforcement tools—if you know how to use them.
We help parents:
If you’re owed support, we fight to collect it. If you’re behind due to circumstances beyond your control, we act fast to prevent escalating consequences and pursue modification.
Florida allows modifications to child support if there’s a substantial, unanticipated change in circumstances, such as:
We represent both payors and recipients in upward and downward modification cases. Our goal is to protect your rights while recalibrating support to match reality.
At Nest Law, we don’t treat child support like a numbers game. We treat it like what it is: a legal and financial matter with long-term consequences for you and your child.

Yes, but the court must approve it. As long as it’s in your child’s best interest and both parents understand the agreement, deviations are possible.
Typically until the child turns 18, but it may extend through high school graduation (if the child is still enrolled) or longer if the child is disabled.
We can pursue court-ordered enforcement, including wage garnishment, asset seizures, and more. Support is not optional.
Maybe. Child support depends on more than parenting time. Income disparities and other factors can still trigger support obligations.
