What will the court consider when deciding whether to modify my child support order?

At the hearing, you will have the opportunity to present your evidence and argue your case. The other parent will also have the opportunity to present their evidence and argue their case in defense. In child support cases, it is imperative to have adequate pay verification through pay stubs, bank records, tax returns, and other documentation.

The attorney should also have a Florida Child Support Guideline calculation to show what the new child support amount should be if seeking to modify the amount. The Florida Child Support Guideline establishes the presumed correct child support amount under Florida law.
