Professional-grade calculations following Florida Statute § 61.30 using the Income Shares Model. Built for family law attorneys practicing in Florida Circuit Courts.
Florida uses the Income Shares Model, ensuring children receive the same proportion of parental income they would have if the family remained together
Start with gross income from all sources (wages, bonuses, self-employment, rental income, disability, etc.) and subtract allowable deductions like taxes, mandatory retirement, and health insurance premiums.
Add both parents' net monthly incomes together to determine the combined monthly income used for the next step.
Use Florida's statutory guidelines chart (based on combined net income and number of children) to find the presumptive monthly child support amount both parents should contribute.
Divide the total support obligation based on each parent's percentage of the combined income. For example, if one parent earns 67% of combined income, they pay 67% of the total support obligation.
Only overnight stays count toward the 73-night threshold. Daytime visits, even if they last most of the day, do not count unless the child sleeps over.
Parents with 73+ overnights are considered to have "substantial time-sharing" triggering the 1.5x multiplier and different calculation methodology.
The parent with more overnights incurs direct costs during their time-sharing, which affects the final support calculation and may reduce or eliminate payments.
Both parents' incomes are considered, not just the paying parent. This differs from percentage-of-income states and ensures support reflects both parents' financial capacity.
Florida's guidelines chart shows different support amounts based on the number of children, with amounts increasing but not doubling as children are added.
The cost of health insurance for the child is added to the basic support amount and divided proportionally between parents based on their income percentages.
Work-related or education-related childcare costs are added to support and allocated proportionally. These are considered necessary for parents to maintain employment.
Uninsured medical, dental, and prescription costs exceeding $250 annually are split proportionally between parents outside the basic support amount.
If a parent has other children they support, this may affect the calculation by reducing their available income for the child support at issue.
