Child Support FAQs
What can I do if my ex is wasting the child support money I pay?
Generally, the court does not micromanage how child support money is spent. In extreme cases, like when money is spent on drugs or children are allowed to live in deplorable conditions, the court should be made aware. Talk to your lawyer if you have concerns about how child support money you’re paying is being spent by the other parent.
How is child support calculated in Florida?
Child support is calculated based on the combined income of each parent. The court will ask for information about childcare costs and who is paying these costs, health insurance payments made by each parent, net monthly income for each parent, dental and vision insurance costs, and other support obligations.
Work with your lawyer to collect this information and ensure that your information is presented accurately to the court.
How long will I have to pay child support in Florida?
Most of the time, child support is paid until the child reaches age 18 or until they graduate high school – whichever happens later, as long as high school graduation is expected before the child turns 19.
Are there ever exceptions to child support laws?
Most child support cases are treated the same. However, if your child has special needs, high medical bills, or other extraordinary expenses, then there may be variations in the way the court treats child support. Turn to your attorney in cases like this to ensure that your child has the support they need and your child support payments are fair.
How is child support modified in Florida?
Child support can be modified in Florida under certain conditions and when there is a compelling reason. Your attorney will guide you in the process of producing the required documentation. The safety and welfare of the children involved is the primary concern of the courts, and parents must keep this in mind when trying to modify their child support payments in Florida.
