Reasons Your Child Support May Be Too High
Child support is not meant to be a burden. It should be based on reasonable expenses, and it should be about the same amount you would spend if you lived with them. Even so, some people find it hard to keep up with their payments. This not only causes financial problems like debt, but it also results in legal issues. The good news is this: You can have your child support payments modified if your ...

The 4 Different Kinds of Spousal Support in Florida
When it comes to legal matters, people often speak in broad terms. They will discuss rulings, orders, and so on, bypassing the “nitty-gritty” of the matter.

3 Common Options in an Uncontested Divorce
In legal terms, to “contest” something means you are challenging it. A contested divorce is not agreed upon by both parties, and it must be handled in court.
