FLORIDA'S BASIC SUPPORT AMOUNT The basic child support amount for a single child in Florida is $74 where the supporting parent earns a minimum wage/salary of $650.
Up to 50% of your disposable earnings may be garnished to pay child support if you are currently supporting a spouse or a child who isn't the subject of the order. If you aren't supporting a spouse or child, up to 60% of your earnings may be taken.
Florida follows an Income Shares Model for determining child support. This means that courts will attempt to estimate the amount of money the parents would have spent on their children if they remained together and were not divorcing. This amount is then divided between the two parents, based on their incomes.
Both parents contribute child support payments, according to their incomes. For instance, for income over $10,000, the guidelines stipulate the lowest amount based on the following percentages: One child 5%, two children 7.5%, 3 children -9.5%, four children 11%, five children -12% and 6 children up to 12.5%.
An employee's allowable disposable income represents the maximum amount that can be withheld from that employee's income for child-support payments. This amount is based on the employee's disposable income and the maximum limit for withholding based on state and federal law.
