Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

First things first, your friend needs to request a hearing at the Department of Revenue/ Child support enforcement office. He needs to do that as soon as possible. He would need to provide proof of the time that his son has lived with him so he can get credit for his care and he won't owe back support also the fact that he has him will prevent him from having a current obligation. As for the daughter he would still have a support obligation for her. And his wife would have one for the son. There is a way an agreement could be worked out so that neither party has to pay support since they are both taking care of one of their two children. Keep in mind that your friend was never been granted actual custody by the court and that court assumes his wife has custody of both children. He will also need to request a Modification of child custody. All of the forms for this are available online at flcourts.org Your friend should try and to go to the local legal aid office and ask for assistance.
