Child support is determined in the State of Florida based on the relative net incomes of the parties and the amount of time that you spend with your child. The more money you make, the more money you would pay in child support. The more time you have, the more credit you would get against that support obligation.

The Department of Revenue can suspend your drivers license to encourage you to pay court ordered child support. When you are required to pay court ordered child support and you fail to make timely payments, your support obligation goes into arrears. The arrears is the number you owe in back child support. The Department of Revenue has many ways to make you pay. One of those is the suspension of your drivers license. If your drivers license has been suspended you will need to come current on your outstanding child support, plus pay fees to reinstate your drivers license. You could also file a motion and ask that the court reinstate your license. The court will want to know how you will pay child support that you owe. If you can’t afford the court ordered child support, you may want to consider asking for a modification or a change in the amount due each month.

In Florida, there’s no longer anything described as joint custody. Florida determines parental responsibility, which can be shared or sole, and time sharing. The more typical ideology of joint custody doesn’t exist in Florida. It goes to parental responsibility and time share. Child support is a financial obligation to the child, which would always be owed to the child regardless of your custody situation.

Child support will be ordered according to the number of children you have and the relative net income of the parties. It takes into consideration both incomes, as well as gives you credit for certain expenses, including childcare expenses and health insurance premiums.

In Florida, child support is calculated based on the relative net income of the parties and credits are provided for time share, as well as some expenses for the child including day care and insurance premiums.

Child support can be changed in Florida by a petition for modification. Again, there has to be a substantial change of circumstance any time you’re seeking modification. However, child support could be changed if it would amount to a difference of either $50 per month, if the Department of Revenue is involved, or $75 per month in your support obligation if they are not.

Childcare expenses in Florida are divided proportionately between parents based on their relative income. If the parents have substantially equal income, then they will substantially equally contribute to the childcare expenses. If one makes a lot more than the other, then they would pay proportionately more.

Child support in Florida is determined by the relative net incomes of the parents. It does not include step-parents. The financial obligation to the child inures from the parent to the child, and that benefit will come from there. They do not take into account household income.

The Department of Revenue can take your tax return to pay back child support. When you are required to pay court-ordered child support and you fail to make timely payments, your support obligation goes into arrears. The arrears is the number you owe in back child support. The Department of Revenue has many ways to make you pay. They can intercept your tax return. This means the IRS sends the Department of Revenue your tax return money so that the department can pay your child support arrears. Typically, you will not know about this until you don’t get the money from the return. The good news is the money from your return will lower the amount of child support arrears. The bad news is that you don’t get your tax return.

Some recent changes to the healthcare laws require everyone to have health insurance. Tax penalties may apply if you are uncovered. To avoid these penalties more parents are seeking state assistance in the form of Medicaid. When a parent applies for Medicaid benefits she agrees to assist the state, through the Department of Revenue, in collecting child support from the prospective parent, usually the father. Many parents do not know that this agreement is included in the request for benefits. If you have been providing financial support to your child that is not court ordered child support, it is possible that the parent, usually the mother, is doing only what she has to do to secure the benefits like health insurance for the child. You may wish to consider asking for time and rights to the child, and you really need to be sure that you are given credit for the financial support you’ve provided.

In Florida, your child support obligation will terminate either on the child’s 18th birthday or upon graduation if they’re going to be graduating before they turn 19. Thereafter, you have no financial obligation. One parent can agree to pay for expenses after the child reaches the age of majority, but they cannot be court ordered to do so.

Part of the child support calculation in Florida does take into account something called substantial time sharing. Substantial time sharing is anything over 20% with the child. It’s determined by where the child lays his or her head at night. If you have more than approximately 75 days per year, it would have an impact on your support obligation. The theory is that if the children are with you, you’re paying for their care and therefore should pay less in form of child support to the other parent.

Yes, support can be obtained for any child born out of wedlock. The child support is a benefit that inures to the child, and it’s based on each parent’s income. It doesn’t whether or not you were married.

Child support, in most cases, cannot be retroactively modified in Florida, it typically goes back to the date of the filing of the petition for modification of child support. Child support vests on the day that it’s due, so if it’s on the first that it’s due, by the second that obligation for the first has vested. There are certain limited circumstances in which it may be modifiable retroactively, if the basis is for a failure to exercise time share, and the support obligation provides a credit for time share if it’s not being exercised.
