Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

When child support was calculated for me she was not working and I am making military wages. With it being two children the rate was exorbitant! she graduates for a degree in dental hygiene in June 2014, so after she gets a few pay stubs and a W-2 Under her belt, this is my question: is her now having higher income more then $0 a viable reason for ME to file a motion to reopen child support? or does it have to be a change in my life style, income etc. (I understand that it also has to change child support by more then $50)

A material change of circumstances is needed. Sounds like it would be, depending on her income and how much it would change your payments.

Most likely you would get a reduction. Contact me I can calculate preliminary guidelines to see if it would be worthwhile for you.

Any parent may request a change in CS anytime there is a $ 50.00 per month change in income. TRAP: Do not file a Motion, that is legally insufficient to change CS, must be done by Petition.
