Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Aftercare

My divorce was final in Dec 2006. It states my obligation for my children is $788 support paid through the court and $232 child care expenses paid directly to the custodial parent. I started to pay the school directly for the child care expenses and this school year the expenses have dropped from the $232 a month i was ordered to pay to $115 because my oldest daughter will now attend middle school. Can I get in trouble somehow because I am not paying the $232.00 a month that was ordered because the child care expenses went down to $115.00 which I am paying.

You need to have the court's standing order changed or you could be held in contempt.

If the support is specifically itemized, no. If you were to pay a specific amount for child care and the amount of child care went down, you do not owe more than that. Just to be covered, I would I would make the modification official with the court, though.
