Child Support Attorney in Dr Phillips since 2001, Burns Family Law

Securing fair and appropriate child support arrangements is essential for both parents and children navigating a divorce or separation in St. Cloud, FL. At Burns Family Law, Nicole Burns serves as a trusted child support attorney, leveraging more than 20 years of family law experience to guide clients through establishing, modifying, or enforcing child support obligations. Her compassionate yet strategic approach ensures you have a clear understanding of Florida’s child support guidelines, your legal rights, and the steps needed to protect your family’s well-being.

Florida follows specific guidelines to calculate child support, taking into account each parent’s income, the number of overnight visits, childcare costs, healthcare expenses, and any special needs of the child. However, determining an accurate picture of a parent’s finances can be complex—particularly if one party is self-employed, holds multiple income streams, or owns a business. Nicole conducts a thorough review of financial records, works with financial professionals when needed, and ensures all income sources are disclosed. This diligence helps prevent unwarranted support calculations and secures the right amount for the child’s upbringing.

If you already have a child support order but circumstances have changed—such as a job loss, salary increase, relocation, or a change in the child’s needs—Nicole can help you pursue a modification. By gathering relevant evidence and presenting it effectively, she demonstrates that new conditions warrant an adjustment, whether you are seeking to increase or decrease the current amount. Conversely, if you are defending against a request for modification, Nicole’s advocacy aims to ensure the court recognizes the situation accurately and keeps your obligations fair and manageable.

Enforcement is another key element of child support cases. When the paying parent falls behind or willfully neglects to provide court-ordered payments, the financial strain can significantly affect the child’s well-being. Nicole is prepared to file motions for enforcement, explore wage garnishments, or even pursue contempt proceedings if necessary. Her balanced strategy—encouraging prompt resolution yet ready for legal action—helps hold non-compliant parties accountable while minimizing conflict.

At Burns Family Law, clients receive personalized attention, consistent communication, and a supportive atmosphere throughout the legal process. Nicole understands the stress surrounding child support disputes, particularly when parents worry about their child’s future. She makes it a priority to break down legal procedures, discuss potential outcomes, and provide guidance tailored to your circumstances. This transparent approach ensures that you can make informed decisions at every stage of your case.

Whether you’re establishing an initial child support order or addressing modifications and enforcement, Nicole Burns stands ready to serve as your child support attorney in St. Cloud, FL. With a commitment to protecting the child’s best interests and ensuring parents meet their legal and financial responsibilities, Nicole offers you peace of mind during one of life’s most challenging transitions.
