Child Support in Florida is determined by a multitude of statutes. The first step in determining child support in Florida is determining whether the non-primary parent has substantial or non-substantial parenting time with the child.
In 2011 The Florida legislature made extensive revisions to Florida's alimony statute but, despite that, alimony in Florida is not calculated in a predictable fashion.
Since 2008, there is no "visitation" in Florida law. It is instead called "parenting time" which is both a clearer definition of what visitation really is.
In a Florida divorce, a couples' assets and liabilities will be totaled and categorized as either being marital or non-marital. Once property is identified as marital the courts will find that, upon divorce, the property should be divided equally.
