Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

In a final dissolution of marriage, divorced wife was ordered to pay child support. An income deduction order was filed by the judge on 12/3/07 and payments were to be paid to the Florida State Disbursment Unit in Tallahassee, FL. Only received 2 payments since then. The former wife said that a letter was sent to the Court saying they were reconciling so no further payments were owed. No formal correspondence was received by the court to the husband. They are legally divorced granted by final judgment in December 2007.

How do I find out about the legal obligations as far as the child support from the court. And is it that simple to nullify a child support order?

Not so simply. Contact the office in Tallahassee and find out where the support payments are. If none have been made, then put her in contempt of court.

Nope -- you can't nullify an order that way. Contact the enforcement people in Tallahassee.
