Determining Who Pays How Much
Because parents can sometimes disagree about their child support obligations, Florida has extensive calculations in place to determine how much the non-custodial parent is responsible for providing.
Child support calculations generally draw most heavily on the following factors:
- Each parent’s income
- The number of children involved
- Percentage of time each parent spends with the child
Other factors could include the overall expenses of things like childcare, medical care, or schooling.
Enforcing & Modifying Child Support Orders
The state of Florida is quite strict about ensuring that child support payments are being received, as they consider these payments to be the child’s right. Failure to pay can result in fines for contempt, a suspended license, or even time in county jail. If the non-custodial parent is unable to maintain the ordered child support amount due to a substantial decrease in their income, or if the custodial parent requires greater input due to a substantial increase in the costs of healthcare, childcare, or education, a modification could be made.
