Is Child Support Mandatory in Florida?
Whether or not you have to pay child support depends on the specifics of your parenting plan, your children’s needs, and your financial situation. The court will take all of the following and more into account:
- Your monthly income, as established by your financial documents and employment history
- How many children you are supporting—the more children there are, the more you will be expected to pay
- Your parenting plan, which will dictate how much time you spend with the children (typically, the more time they are in your care, the less you pay the other parent in support)
- Your children’s needs—for example, if your child is disabled and needs extra medical care or special schooling, you may have to pay more
Penalties for not paying child support may include the suspension of your driver’s license and other licenses, income withholding, and more.
If your former partner refuses to pay the required amount or is habitually late making payments, our Orlando child support enforcement lawyer can reach out to them and see if we can work out a solution. If they will not cooperate, legal action may be necessary. In that case, we would file the necessary paperwork and represent you at the Orange County Circuit Court or other appropriate venue.
We know how much your children are depending on these payments. Trust us to work fast to resolve any misunderstandings or disagreements about your child support order.
You Can Modify Your Child Support Order if Necessary
Even the most supportive parents can encounter hard times. If you are unemployed for an extended period of time, develop a life-altering illness, or suffer another adverse life event, you may not be able to comply with your child support order.
As previously discussed, simply stopping payments is not an option and can have very negative consequences for you and your children. There is, however, another solution: one of our Orlando child support modification lawyers can request a modification on your behalf.
Requesting a modification involves the following:
- Alerting the court and your former partner about what has happened
- Collecting evidence to show how the event has affected your ability to make your payments
- Continuing to make payments in accordance with the old order until you receive permission to alter payments
We can also request a modification if your former partner’s situation changes. For example, events like a serious injury or getting a raise can affect how much support they need to continue taking care of the children.
At Bogin, Munns & Munns, we understand that unforeseen changes in circumstance can affect both you and your children. It is critical that you notify all involved parties right away if you are unable to make payments. Doing so will both preserve your children’s financial stability and save you from being penalized for lack of payment.
