When children are involved in a divorce or a paternity action, a Florida court may order one parent to make payments to the other parent for the care and support of the minor children.
Enforcing Child Support Orders
If your child’s other parent neglects to make their child support payments, you can seek enforcement through the courts.
Modifying Child Support Orders
The court may alter a Florida child support order when:
- it is to the greatest advantage of the child,
- the child reaches 18,
- there is a considerable change in the circumstances of the parties,
- the court requires support past the age of 18 years because of dependency, or
- a child is emancipated, marries, joins the military or dies.
