Your Rights Under Florida Child Support Law

The amount of child support awarded in any divorce is determined by the Florida Child Support Guidelines. These guidelines, as established by the Florida Legislature, outline a series of factors that the court may consider in reaching its ultimate child support determination. Some of these factors include:

• The combined net monthly income (income after taxes) of both parents
• The amount of time you spend with your children
• FICA, Medicare, Social Security and individual health insurance payments
• The number of children you are supporting
• The age of the children
• Any special needs of the children
• Medical expenses of the children

Please note, the amount of child support awarded may be modified if there is a substantial change in circumstances. However, you must obtain court approval of any proposed modification.
