Latest Questions & Answers
Is there financial help if I adopt my special needs foster child?
I would like to adopt my foster child but I’m worried about the medical expenses. He is special needs and requires a lot of physical therapy and counseling. Right now, the state gives me a stipend through the Miami foster care program. The social worker on my case mentioned that Florida offers some post-adoption money for special needs kids, but she says that has to be negotiated and she can’t give me legal advice. Can a lawyer help me get some regular payments after an adoption so I can pay my son’s counseling and medical bills?
Can I get more child support once my divorce is final?
Spouse and I are separated and he’s been paying me child support for our three kids since he left. Right now, my kids and I are still on his health insurance policy. But we are moving toward a final divorce and once it’s done, I’ll be cut off from his policy and will need to get my own. Insurance through my work costs a lot and I’m not going to be able to pay for what my kids need and pay for my own insurance. Could a judge require my ex to continue to provide me health insurance after the divorce and if not, can I ask for more child support?
