Adjusting Child Support After a Change in Income

Child support in Florida is calculated using a guideline based on both parents’ incomes and the time-sharing arrangement. When either parent’s income changes significantly, or when the parenting schedule shifts enough to affect the overnight count, the support order may no longer reflect the right amount.

A parent who simply stops paying or informally agrees to a different amount risks arrears, because only a court-ordered modification changes the legal obligation. Brodzki Jacobs can run the updated guideline calculation and seek a formal change.
