Child Support

    Most state child support laws are fairly fixed by statutory guidelines, and Florida is no exception. The Florida Child Support Guidelines govern the amount of child support paid. Child support in Florida is based on the net income of both parents. The cost of daycare, health insurance and recurring un-reimbursed medical expenses are factored into the Guideline amounts. A departure from the Guidelines is possible in certain situations. Modifications of the original support order can be requested when financial circumstances change.        

    The Court may issue an Income Deduction Order (IDO), which requires the employer of the person paying child support or alimony to deduct the support from the paying spouse’s paycheck and send it directly to the receiving spouse, or to a State depository where distribution is made to the receiving spouse.
