Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
An ex is claiming to put me on child support, but I only work part-time & don't even make that much more than my living expenses. Income: $450 bi-weekly ($900/month). Rent: $650/month. Utilities: $125/month. Credit Card: $25/month (Balance: $750). That last $100 goes towards food and any other last minute costs such as car (oil change/removing nail from tire, twice), or an increase in utilities during winter months, etc. I have been looking for a better job for months to help out, also because in 3 months, my college loans go into repayment if I can't get my forboadance again at that time to extend my grace period (Total college loans approx. $67,000 with a possible monthly repayment of $150+/month). How will the court (in FL) determine the child support I owe if this is taken to court & she wins? If I am to use funding that is meant for rent, then I will get evicted, from utilities will get my lights turned off, default if I can't repay my loans, etc. Will the court actually do this?

The court considers your income and her income to determine who pays what. Sounds like she has the children all by herself. Trust me, that costs more than your utilities.
