In Florida, courts are not more inclined to grant custody to mothers than to father. There is a statute that the courts must follow, and that statute indicates the factors that the court must look at to determine who should have custody.
Normally in Florida, child support ends at the age of 18, but for a child with special needs who is not self-supporting at 18, the court can extend the child support indefinitely.
Yes, a Florida court can definitely order alimony payments. Typically, the court takes into consideration the need of the spouse that's requesting the alimony and the ability to pay of the spouse that is going to be ordered to pay the alimony. The court will then enter a final judgment of dissolution of marriage indicating what if any amount of alimony is ordered to be paid in that particular case.
Yes, they can, but you must show a substantial change in circumstances. So in the event that your custody order initially awarded custody to the other parent, and you now wish to change that, you must show what substantial change in circumstance occurred since the court order was initially entered, that would justify the modification of the custody order.
