Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Deletion of child support
I have custody of my 11 yo son, my wife has our 6 yo daughter. I pay her monthly for my daughter and receive nothing for my son. She originally in the divorce had both childred and i was paying much more. Now custody of my son has been given to me. Is there something i can do. I live in florida and she now has relocated to south carolina. We travel every weekend to pick up or drop off. How would we change the original sum of child support or even drop it as she supports on and so do i.

Re: Deletion of child support
You must petition the court where the Order was entered for a modification of the child support.
In many cases you can do this on your own, but it obviously is smoother for you if you have an attorney. I am not sure if the Clerk's office in Baker County will assist you with the filing or if there is a law library available to you there. If there is a law library you may be able to pull some examples of a Petition to help you out.
Also, if your spouse is in agreement with the reduction you can do an agreed or joint petition to the court which will expedite everything.
