Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
My ex-wife & I went to a final hearing in FL for child support review. They first do mediation to figure out the child support & the lawyer for the child support agency kept figuring out my income 10k more than I make. We got in front of the magistrate & after her arguing I should pay more & me explaining I do not make what the lawyer was saying he decided for a true final hearing. So we were both sworn in. He took our paystubs, W2's, medical information, and child care information. Then any further arguments we had he let us speak & then we were sent on our way. The judge signed the new order of modification a few days later. It was a decrease in support. Everything was filed with the clerk of court & today I looked and my ex-wife filed a Motion To Set Aside the Judgement & Motion for a Re-hearing. He complaint more than likely is because it went down. Will the courts accept this and do another hearing even tho everything was given & the judge did the calculation?

Unless she can show a calculation error by the Magistrate or Court, the order should stand.
