Reduction For Child Support:
How do I appeal a motion for child support to have the amount reduced?

I have another child I support and household bills that were not taken into consideration.

Answer to Florida Court Forms Child Support Question

Dear Aubrey,

I believe you mean to say that you have been served with a Supplemental Petition to Modify Child Support; and you want to dispute the amount that is requested. You can use this form to respond, Answer to Supplemental Petition, Form 12.903(e), which can be found on the Florida Supreme Court website at www.flcourts.org .

This answer form does not allow much space to state the reasons why you disagree, but the instructions for that form state the following:

This form should be used when you are responding to a supplemental petition for modification of Parenting Plan, time-sharing schedule, child support, or alimony.

This form is used to admit or deny all of the allegations in the supplemental petition if you do not plan to file a counterpetition. There is no form for a counterpetition to a supplemental petition in these Family Law Forms.

If you want to file a counterpetition to a supplemental petition you will need to either seek legal assistance or create a form yourself.
