Child Support Motion To Intervene

by Anonymous from Florida

I just received a motion to intervene and modify child support by the state.

They want to see all of my personal info and documents for the past two years.

What motion do I have to file to receive the same documents from the custodial party on or prior to court.

Thank You.

Answer to Florida Child Support Question

Dear Anonymous,

Child support is supposed to be based on both parents' incomes.

Filing a Financial Affidavit is part of mandatory disclosure.

However, sometimes people do not readily comply. You could file a Motion to Compel Production of Financial Documents and request that the other parent provide their current financial affidavit.

You can also file a Standard Family Law Interrogatories for modification proceedings, Form 12.930(c) in which you may request detailed information about the other party's finances.

Instructions for the Standard Family Law Interrogatories form state in part:

This form should be used to ask the other party in your case to answer certain standard questions in writing. These questions are called interrogatories, and they must relate to your case.

If the other party fails to answer the questions, you may ask the judge to order the other party to answer the questions. (You cannot ask these questions before the petition has been filed.)

The questions in this form should be used in modification proceedings and are meant to supplement the information provided in the Financial Affidavits, Florida Family Law Rules of Procedure Form 12.902(b) or (c).

You should read all of the questions in this form to determine which questions, if any, the other party needs to answer in order to provide you with information not covered in the financial affidavit forms. If there are questions to which you already know the answer, you may choose not to ask them.
