Think child support is permanent? Not exactly.

In Florida, child support can be modified but only if there’s a real change in circumstances.

That might mean:
• A major change in income
• An involuntary job loss
• A shift in time-sharing
• New medical or school expenses

Here’s what surprises most people 👇

The change usually has to equal at least 15% or $50 difference from the current amount.

And you cannot go back and fix it later.
Support can only be modified from the date you file.

Waiting can cost you.

Even if both parents agree to adjust it, court approval is still required to make it legally enforceable.

Life changes. Orders can too.
But only if you take action.

LegalTips FarkasAndCrowley

Legal tip Tuesday you hopefully never need but you’ll be glad you do.

You have the right to remain silent.
But saying almost the right thing can still cause problems.

❌ “Maybe I should talk to a lawyer?”
❌ “I think I don’t want to answer…”

Those can leave the door open for more questions.

The safest move:
“I am invoking my right to remain silent. I want an attorney.”

Clear. Calm. No guessing.

Just a little Monday knowledge to keep in your back pocket.
You’re welcome. 😉

Weekends are for family, rest, and resetting.
But legal issues don’t follow a 9-5 schedule.

If something happens this weekend, the decisions you make now can shape what comes next.

Defense isn’t about reacting.
It’s about protecting your future.

The fastest way out of a criminal case
isn’t always the safest.

A plea deal can end a case quickly—
but quietly follow you for years.

Before you “just take the plea,”
understand what’s really at stake.

Florida has quietly reshaped pretrial detention — and the impact is massive.

Expanded “dangerous crime” classifications mean less judicial discretion, mandatory detention requests, and more people held without bond.

For criminal defense cases, pretrial is now one of the most critical phases of the entire case.

Florida’s DUI laws have changed dramatically with Trenton’s Law. If you or a client is affected, understanding these updates early makes all the difference.

01/21/2026

Pulled over for DUI in Florida?
Your choices now carry criminal consequences.

Under Trenton’s Law:
• Refusing a breath or urine test = a misdemeanor
• Repeat fatal DUI offenses = up to 30 years in prison

What you do at the roadside can change your future.
Know your rights. Protect them early.
