Paternity & Child Support for Professional Athletes | Rier Jordan P.A

Paternity and Child Support Representation for Professional Athletes in Florida

When public attention meets private legal issues, discretion and expertise are essential.
At Rier Jordan P.A., our Miami family law attorneys have extensive experience representing professional athletes, entertainers, and high-net-worth individuals in sensitive paternity and child support matters across Florida.

We understand the unique pressures that come with success — media attention, financial complexity, and reputation management — and we provide strategic, confidential legal solutions designed to protect your rights, your assets, and your name.

Protecting Professional Athletes in Florida Paternity & Support Matters

Paternity and child support cases involving professional athletes often attract unwanted public attention and require experienced legal counsel familiar with:

• High-income support calculations

• Privacy and reputation management

• Multi-jurisdictional issues (residence, team travel, etc.)

• Complex income sources (endorsements, contracts, bonuses)

• DNA testing and paternity establishment

Our attorneys ensure that all proceedings are handled discreetly and efficiently while safeguarding your financial and personal privacy.

Establishing Paternity in Florida

Paternity establishes the legal relationship between a father and child.
In Florida, paternity can be established through:

• Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity

• Court-Ordered Genetic (DNA) Testing

• Administrative Order by the Florida Department of Revenue

For athletes or public figures, it’s critical to manage paternity proceedings with care to protect both legal interests and public reputation.

Our attorneys handle all communication, filings, and proceedings with the highest level of discretion — ensuring your privacy is protected from start to finish.

Child Support for High-Income Earners

Florida child support guidelines are based on income, but when a parent earns substantially above the state guideline limits, courts may deviate upward or downward based on lifestyle, needs, and fairness.

Professional athletes often face unique financial considerations:

• Variable income (contracts, trades, bonuses, and performance incentives)

• Out-of-state or multi-state tax implications

• Business entities or trusts holding assets

• Career volatility or injury risk

At Rier Jordan P.A., we work with financial experts, accountants, and valuation professionals to ensure that child support calculations are accurate, fair, and sustainable — protecting both the child’s needs and the athlete’s financial future.

Confidentiality and Media Sensitivity

We understand that professional athletes and high-profile individuals value privacy above all else.

Our firm takes proactive steps to maintain discretion:

• Sealing sensitive filings when possible

• Managing communication through legal channels only

• Protecting against unauthorized media exposure

• Handling negotiations privately to avoid public court appearances

Our approach minimizes risk, protects reputation, and keeps personal matters out of the spotlight.

Representation for Mothers of Children of Professional Athletes

In addition to representing athletes, we also advocate for mothers seeking fair support and paternity recognition involving professional or high-net-worth fathers.

We ensure that:

• The child’s paternity is legally established

• Support orders accurately reflect the father’s income and assets

• All rights to education, healthcare, and visitation are secured

Our attorneys handle these cases with compassion, strength, and confidentiality — always focusing on the best interests of the child.

Modification and Enforcement of Child Support Orders

Athletes’ careers often change rapidly — through team transfers, injuries, retirements, or contract fluctuations.

We help clients petition for:

• Downward or upward modification of child support

• Enforcement of unpaid support

• Termination of support when legally appropriate

Our attorneys ensure your child support orders remain fair, accurate, and reflective of your current financial situation.

We represent clients throughout Florida, including athletes from:

• NFL (National Football League)

• NBA (National Basketball Association)

• MLB (Major League Baseball)

• MLS (Major League Soccer)
