Child Support
Paying alimony hurts—doing it without a good lawyer hurts more.
Child Support in Florida
The Basics
Child support in Florida is based on a set formula. To figure it out, you just need to know a few key pieces of information:
What the Court Looks At:
- How many children you have.
- How many nights each child spends with each parent during the year.
- Each parent’s monthly income.
If a parent isn’t working or not earning as much as they could, the court might assign an estimated income (called imputed income) based on what they should be making. - Health insurance costs for the child and who pays for it.
- Daycare costs and which parent is paying.
(Daycare must be work-related.)
All of this is plugged into a formula and shown on a Child Support Guidelines Worksheet, which becomes part of the court file.
How Is It Paid?
Usually, one parent pays support to the other every month. It can be paid:
Directly to the other parent, or
Taken from the paying parent’s paycheck and sent through the state (Tallahassee), then deposited into the other parent’s bank account.
