Supplemental Petition to Modify Parenting Plan/Time-Sharing Schedule and Other Relief
This form was formerly known as the Supplemental Petition to Modify Custody/Visitation and Other Relief. Form 12-905(a) should be used when you are asking the court to change current court-ordered parenting plan or time-sharing schedule.
Parenting and Time-Sharing. If you and the respondent are unable to agree a judge will decide for you as part of establishing a Parenting Plan. The judge will decide the parenting and time-sharing arrangements based on the child(ren)’s best interests.
Regardless of whether there is an agreement, the court reserves jurisdiction to modify issues relating to the minor child(ren). The judge may request a parenting plan recommendation or appoint a guardian ad litem in your case.
This means that a neutral person will review your situation and report to the judge concerning parenting issues. The purpose of such intervention is to be sure that the best interests of the child(ren) is (are) being served. For more information, you may consult section 61.13, Florida Statutes.
A parenting course must be completed prior to entry of a final judgment. You should contact the clerk, family law intake staff, or judicial assistant about requirements for parenting courses or mediation where you live.
Child Support... The court may order one parent to pay child support to assist the other parent in meeting the child(ren)’s material needs. Both parents are required to provide financial support, but one parent may be ordered to pay a portion of his or her support for the child(ren) to the other parent.
Florida has adopted guidelines for determining the amount of child support to be paid. These guidelines are based on the combined income of both parents and take into account the financial contributions of both parents and the number of overnights the child(ren) spend with each parent.
You must file a Family Law Financial Affidavit, and the other parent will be required to do the same. From your financial affidavits, you should be able to calculate the amount of child support that should be paid using the Child Support Guidelines Worksheet Form 12.902(e).
Because the child support guidelines take several factors into consideration, change over time, and vary from state to state, your child support obligation may be more or less than that of other people in seemingly similar situations.
Petition to Determine Paternity
This Florida child support form should be used by a birth mother or father to ask the court to establish paternity, custody, visitation, and/or Florida child support of a minor child or children.
This means that you are trying to legally establish who is the father of the child(ren).
If Florida child support has already been established and you want to modify the existing support order or some other relief, the Modification of Child Support Form may be what you need.
