In Florida, child support is computed by a formula that considers the combined net income of both parents and generates an amount consistent with Florida's child support guidelines. In certain instances, it is possible to deviate from the guidelines; for example, if the child has special needs or the child is accustomed to a high standard of living. Child support cannot be waived by the parents, because it belongs to the child. I can help you calculate how much, approximately, the child support will be in your case.

Under some circumstances, one spouse can be ordered to pay support to the other spouse. These payments can be temporary, permanent or rehabilitative. Spousal support can be waived by the spouse entitled to it. Some of the factors that the court will consider for an alimony award are:
- The length of the marriage
- Age of the parities
- Health of the parties
- Education of the parties
- The ability of the supporting spouse to pay
- The need of the non-supporting spouse
Generally, a long-term marriage is a marriage ending after 17 years. In long-term marriages, it is presumed that a spouse in need will be awarded permanent alimony. Permanent alimony lasts until the spouse dies, remarries or is in a supportive cohabitation relationship. There are alimony options for marriages that last less than 17 years.
