Attorney Jonathan Jacobs talks about child support and timesharing in Florida, highlighting the misconceptions surrounding these topics. Divorce and Family Law Podcast clarifies child support is intended for the benefit of children, not the receiving parent, and discusses the financial responsibilities that come with parenting. The conversation also addresses common myths about equal timesharing and its impact on child support obligations, clarifying that even with equal time, one parent may still owe support due to differing financial responsibilities.
