JACKSONVILLE, FL, April 20, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Neil L. Weinreb, a family law attorney with more than 20 years of experience, authored the book to provide a clear, practical explanation of Florida's child support system for parents, and those receiving or paying child support in Florida. The guide addresses how child support is calculated, enforced, and modified, and offers real-world insight into navigating both Department of Revenue proceedings and circuit court cases.

The release follows Weinreb's involvement in a significant appellate case that drew attention to due process concerns in Florida's child support enforcement system. In that case, the First District Court of Appeal held that child support hearing officers do not have the authority to order arrests or incarceration during enforcement hearings. The ruling clarified that only judges may exercise such authority, and only with proper legal findings, including proof of a present ability to pay.

The decision effectively ended a practice in which individuals were being taken into custody during child support proceedings, raising concerns about procedural fairness and access to the courts.

"Many parents enter the child support system without a clear understanding of how it works or what to expect," said Weinreb. "This book is designed to provide straightforward, practical guidance so people can make informed decisions and avoid common mistakes."

Florida Child Support Guide is written in plain language and is intended to serve as a resource for both individuals navigating the system and professionals seeking a concise reference. It reflects Weinreb's experience handling child support matters across Florida and his focus on helping clients understand the legal and financial issues that affect their families.

In addition to his legal practice, Weinreb has served as an adjunct professor teaching law to paralegal students and has hosted a legal radio program discussing family law issues.

Florida Child Support Guide is now available for purchase on Amazon in Kindle and softcover formats.

This book was written from the perspective of a Florida attorney who has spent more than two decades working with families navigating the child support system. During that time, Neil Weinreb has seen firsthand how confusing and intimidating the process can be for parents who are unfamiliar with the legal system.

Many individuals involved in child support cases are not represented by attorneys. They are often trying to understand complicated legal procedures while dealing with significant financial and emotional stress. The purpose of this book is to help explain the Florida child support system in clear and practical terms so that parents can better understand their rights, responsibilities, and available options.

While this guide is based on Florida law, Mr. Weinreb's detailed explanations of his experience handling family law matters is not intended to replace legal advice from a qualified attorney. Every family situation is different, and the application of the law can vary depending on the specific facts of a case.

Instead, the goal of this book is to provide readers with a framework for understanding how the child support system works. By becoming familiar with the legal process, parents can make better decisions, avoid common mistakes, and focus on what matters most—the well-being of their children.
