Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
My child support is enforced in VA where I live. There was a review taking place in FL for the order where the ex-wife & kids live. We went in front of a lawyer to do mediation first which didn't work out. When we got in front of the Magistrate he called for a final hearing: swore us in, we provided our pay stubs (hers was a letter stating what she made), I supplied the health insurance premiums, she provided the child care/summer camp expenses to him. He asked her why she filed the motion to deviate from the guidelines. Asked if there was anything else we wanted to say and that was it. Two weeks later I receieved the new order which was a decrease. She went that day & filed a motion to set aside judgement & a motion for a new hearing. I checked & they granted it next month. Does that def mean she will get an increase since they rescheduled a new hearing & do they just rehear all cases that were appealed???

No, it just means the case gets heard again. By the way, you need to demand pay stubs from her, not a letter. Anyway can fake a letter.
