QUESTION

Modifying a Support Order

Asked on Jan 27th, 2014 on Child Support - Florida
More details to this question:
My husband and I live in Hillsborough county and the child/child's mother live in the adjacent one. If we want to have a support order modified, where do we go? We would like it to be reduced- we have had more children and got married since the original order 5 years ago and set up a visitation schedule as the mother keeps threatening to not let us see the child.

    Push the easy button.  Where was the original Child Support judgment entered?  Go to that county.  Although there are instances where the case might be filed in your current county, this is a more direct route and you won't spend a lot of wasted time dealing with matters that are not the real issue.      Keep in mind, however, that there has to be a substantial change in either or both party's income to modify support.  Adding children to a new marriage alone does not justify a reduction in child support.
