Child Custody and Support
Child custody and support are among the most significant and sensitive aspects of a divorce. When facing a divorce, some of the most pressing concerns revolve around the impact on our children.

Our experienced attorneys in Miami are dedicated to creating solutions that uphold the best interests of your children while protecting your parental rights, providing peace of mind in turbulent times.
Understanding Child Custody
Child custody decisions are based on the best interests of the child, considering factors like the parents’ living situations, relationships with the child, and the child’s own needs and preferences. Custody can be categorized as either physical (where the child lives) or legal (who makes important decisions for the child). The challenge often lies in negotiating an arrangement that serves the child’s best interests while also respecting the rights and wishes of each parent. Emotional conflicts can arise, making it crucial to have skilled legal representation to navigate these negotiations.
Determining Child Support
Child support is designed to ensure that all financial needs of the children are met, covering expenses like housing, food, education, and healthcare. In Florida, child support amounts are calculated based on both parents’ incomes, the number of children, and the custody arrangement. Challenges can include accurately reporting income, determining actual child-related expenses, and adjusting support amounts as circumstances change. Our attorneys at DMR Law are adept at addressing these issues, ensuring a fair and adequate support structure is in place.
