Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
My ex husband was ordered to pay child support 11 years ago through the Florida Department of Revenue. Four years ago he decided to become an independent contractor and since then child support has been erractic. He has now fallen behind over 11k. In April of 09 he was ordered by a judge to pay a minimum of $200 toward the balance by June 19, 2009 or his driver's license would be suspended. He made a payment of about $72 on June 30, 2009 and continues to make payments every week since then for the about the same amout. He remarried in 2003 and lives in a $350k+ home, drives a Lexus and a Sequoia and still has no steady income. We have gone to court several times and still nothing gets resolved. Over the course of the past 11 years,5 of which my current husband has helped, have paid all of our children's needs while he kicks back and ignores his responsibilities. Can I place a judgment on the home he owns with his wife? It was purchased after they married. How about any of the vehicles that are registered to him? Is there any other recourse that my children have? They are now 13 & 14 and their needs have increased. Not to mention their desire for food.

If you get a judgment against him for child support, you can place the judgment on any asset in his name. You may also be able to take some of the assets from him, though probably not the home, which is protected by Florida law,
