In florida, it doesn't matter how much time you spend with the child. What counts is who's home the child sleeps in. In other words, you can spend 16 hours every day with the child but if the child sleeps at the other parents home then the court sees it as you spend 0 time with the child and you will pay a lot more child support. This info may come in handy for anyone who works the graveyard shift like i do

Thank you

This was very helpful

Why don't you say it's unconstitutional and there's no due process

So then how do you stop a waste of life that steals from you when they say your never there but your always working so many COUNTLESS hour's that your literally never able to eat or sleep much and the income your making doesn't even cover you due to the area your in and the job market that effects how much your making which like I said isn't even enough to afford anything maybe rent if your lucky lol no phone or car payment and have to us a downtown library to get internet !. Does that qualify as scrutiny ?_?. Just curious ?. Because that's the way were headed in life !. Never able to get what needs to be done losing your contacts family friends and losing all of your possessions !.

Does the custodial parent also receive the interest accumulated on child support? I'm wondering because records show arrears and interest were both paid, I received the arrears but not the interest.

I needed this !! I just had a baby and he came 6 months early. Father never helped me . Now that I had the child father threatened me for child custody. I don't know what to do.

I wonder what I can do child support is after me. I am a male I have been diagnosed with pancreatitis five years ago from that time I have never healed from it actually other organs are now affected. I do not have insurance the child support court is hammering down on me ordering me to get a doctors note with a date of when I was sick and when I will get better. This is absolutely ridiculous there is no telling if I will ever get better. Also not having any insurance no one‘s going to do a CT scan or an mri on me that usually cost around $12,000 to look inside and see the organs again. I’m a true fact is I am no longer able to do manual labor they suspend my drivers license in New Orleans even though I’ve been a resident of Florida for about 15 years in Florida said that they were going to contact the state of Louisiana along with the Department of revenue and have my license given back. They never kept her word and I’m still fighting for my license back I live in the middle of the country so there’s no buses to go to work even if I could go to work and when I try to explain Explain that to them they told them that is my problem. The child support system is broken I am very unlawful and unjust to my rights and toward the constitution. I do not have the right any more of freedom and independence or the pursuit of happiness because I am being enslaved and cornered under a contract of state law. And to make everything worse A couple years after the judgment was put up on me I brought all the evidence showing the child never lived with his mom and he never was raised by his mom. She never had custody of him the judge told me that she wasn’t even going to look at it because it was a relevant to the case and I was going to have to pay all the child support no matter what.Also my kid is 22 years old and he does not live with his mom anymore or me anymore and he does not go to school. And I O several thousand dollars in arrears

I live in FL. My husband cheated and a child was born in 2017. During this time my husband was receiving SSI . He was on SSI from 2017-2019. His first official day of child support started 3/1/2020. But the state added back pay up to 24 months. The child mom applied for public assistance which started the case. My question is, is it legal to calculate back pay during the time he was receiving SSI?

am on child support my BM have custody of my 3boys and I was claiming one of them on my taxes but she I can't now cause of a new rule is got so was u can I still claim one of my child if am on child support

Can you ask for some custody in a child support hearing

Lol where’s the PDF for the chart fam ?

Is there any way to legally force a mother to pay child support? So I am going to be turning 18 soon, my mom and dad got divorced a while ago and my dad got full custody, and since that she may have paid a few child support in the beginning but at very least she has not paid child support for the last 5 years, is there any way to get her to pay child support or have her face consequences or should I just do what my dad says and "don't bother with her it will just be a pain in our ass"? (Also in the time since then she has less than 48 hours combined visit time with me possibly even less then 36)

What about disabled vets, who also collect ssdi? What happen to our child support, will it change or does ssdi get me off of paying the ridiculous amount?

@The Joseph Firm P.A you left out that under Social Security Act 1101 subsection d either party has the right to object when it comes to paying child support

Are child support payments and retroactive child support payments automatically garnished from paychecks In Florida?

Where's the PDF?

Can someone sign your name on a birth certificate without your consent , and I was put on child support without paternity even being established, I was told just this is illegal? But this is what was done to Me and had caused my life to be hell

I’m on child support I fell behind 3400 now from my understanding it’s considered a felony after I get back on track will that go away ????????

Hello, I'm establishing child support for a child that's 13 yrs old the final order is not don't yet but i need to move to another city. Can I go ahead without a problem or do i need approval from the other parent??

a man I was with almost 7 years cheated on me and had a baby with another woman, and i did not find out about her until a few months ago. he managed to hide the woman and baby from me for almost 2 years! she put him on child support and he pays her 600 a month. Our 6 year old gets 251 a month, but after finding out about her I broke up with him and filed for a modification. My support case was first, yet she got more money than my child. Unsure of how that happened. What can I do to get more support and get hers lowered down? A subsequent child should not get more than a first child right?

I have an unusual question which someone might be able to answer. If I was to marry a woman in Florida who already has children from a previous marriage would her child support from her previous husband come to an end and therefore her children become mine and her responsibility financially?

The FLORIDA Standard for calculating CHILD SUPPORT the STATE-aka Chile Support Enforcement Agency; Has established the base amounts to be $110,000. Per Child-over that chiles lifetime. SO once someone ( any Man within the State of FLORIDA) has been roped into the Child Support Circus- HE will be expected to pay out at min. $110,000. For each Child. No matter how old the child is. The Father will be expected and forced to pay continually for the rest of HIS LIFE. BTW.... That money $$$, does not go back to the mother of his children. All of those monies being stolen through every means possible by the FLA DoR are kept by the DoR. Along with their FEDERAL Subsidies. (yes the state also is receiving $$$ for having collected Child support from innocent people... )

Need your help I’m paying child support I live in Philadelphia and the son in Orlando she not letting know about my son but getting child support because I’m paying please what I got to do need your help please

I will never have another child. Worst mistake I ever made in my life. Not because of the child , but because of the laws behind children that supports the custodial parent. It's legalized stealing!!!. Make both parents pay a fee and make both parents require a certain amount of time with the child. Simple. But Laws in place just wanna see money and not support the child even tho it's called child support... Sad. Your law firm is part of the problem. Empowering courts that hurt non- custodial parents....# Megatron#

What happen when we make same hourly rate but I work fulltime and she work part-time cuz she don't want work fulltime?

I fully agree that non custodial parents should pay child support and I feel for a majority of (women( that are getting the short hand of the stick. Unfortunatelyas there unfit women in America abusing the child support system for their own self agendas especially those with criminal records. Those bleeding the welfare system, Medicaid, wic, housing and still stealing child support from the children should be "locked under the prison"

What if my wife had kids before we got married?

There are alot of biological parents parental rights and civil rights, that are being violated. Alot of biological parents, syblings, and other family members, have been alienated from the child or children. Alot of biological parents, are being blocked from visiting their child, due to a custodel parent, adoptive parent, or legal guardian, who are domestic violent abusers and violent crimminals themselves, who create a negative and violent environment for the child and the non custodial parents. So there are many reasons, why the non custodial parents do not have time with their children. If the courts don't enforce the childs visitation rights, them children, are not given a fair opportunity, to learn and be familiar with their other parents, syblings.

Can’t wait to put my ex on this . He never has paid and also got my sued for a co-signed loan he’ll pay up

The music in this video is stupid and distracting as F.

Got a idiot friend who plans on going to Florida so I said so u gonna abandon ur kid and go to Florida. Because his friend can get him a job down there lol

If mother left the home and father was taking care of child for 4+ years paying everything, dr visits, school etc. before paternity was established can the father once paternity is established in court get retroactive/back child support for the full FL allowed 2 years? Also when child is born out of wedlock the hospital should have to present paternity forms when the birth certificate and all other paperwork is done as well as explain to fathers the laws about children born out of wedlock. I also find it extremely unfair and against the whole “equality” movement that a mother can have an abortion and eliminate all parental responsibilities and financial by having an abortion, fathers have no choice but to pay child support even if they don’t want to, it should go both ways. Equality should start in family court because it’s all about making a dollar not the child.

I don't get why the state will force child support on the other parent, when receiving government assistance and you don't want anything thing to do with the abusive biological parent. 😐☕
