Temporary Reduction in Florida Child Support

by Anonymous
(Florida)

My boyfriend lost job due to a cutback and is receiving unemployment. He needs to know what process that he needs to go through to get his child support reduced temporarily and how long this process takes.

He has no money to hire an attorney, so he needs to know all the proper forms to fill out.

Answer to Florida Child Support Question

Dear Anonymous,

Your boyfriend needs to file the Supplemental Petition for Modification of Child Support and the supporting forms. Unemployment may qualify him for a temporary reduction in child support.

Have a look at our web-powered instructions page for this form.

You'll find links to all the supporting child support modification forms with the instructions on one page. Many people find this page useful.

The petition for modification and the supporting forms should be filed in the county where the original child support order was entered or in the county where his child lives. Be sure to follow the instructions on the forms, and have the child's mother properly served.

Be sure to make contact with the court's self help services. Their assistance can be very useful with the process. However they are strictly forbidden to give any advice, including which forms you should use.
