Child support modification in Florida refers to the process where a parent seeks a change in their existing child support order. This modification can pertain to the payment amount or payment arrangements. The payment aspect is a crucial consideration when parents request modifications, as it determines the financial responsibility of each parent towards the upbringing of their child. One common type of child support modification form in Florida is the "Motion for Modification of Child Support," also known as Form 12.905(a). This form allows parents to request a change in the amount of child support paid, providing reasons for the modification request. The form includes sections to provide information about the current child support order, income details of both parents, and reasons supporting the requested change. Another type of child support modification form is the "Supplemental Petition for Modification of Child Support," also known as Form 12.905(b). This form is used when one parent seeks not only a change in the payment amount but also a modification in other aspects of the existing child support order, such as visitation rights or medical support. It requires detailed information about the requested modifications and the reasons behind them.
