Under Florida, child support law §61.13, both parents have the right to request a modification of child support. The modification can be to either increase or decrease the required amount of child support. Child support obligations are regulated by the court and cannot be changed without court approval.
If the review results show that the support amount should be increased or decreased, we will take the next step to get the order changed. It generally takes about six months for an order review and change to be completed.
The Florida child support statutes allow a modification petition anytime the petition would result in a change in support of at least 15% or $50, whichever is greater. ?The guidelines may provide the basis for proving a substantial change in circumstances upon which a modification of an existing order may be granted.
Either parent can file their own petition in circuit court to change (modify) a support order. You can hire a lawyer of your choosing or file your own petition and represent yourself. Other resources you may find helpful include: Florida Courts Self-Help Page for Child Support.
