Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Re: which law help w/ no payment of arreages, modify child support, reeinstating

RE: Service. There is a process for serving a person via publication in the newspaper. It requires that you first exercise due diligence in trying to locate him for personal service.

RE: License Suspension. I assume you mean that your license was suspended due to failure to pay support. Often you can reach an agreement with the Dept. of Revenue representative whereby you agree to come up with a partial lump sum payment on the retroactive support and the Dept. agrees to reinstate your license as long as you make future monthly payments on a timely basis.

RE: Waiver of Arrearages: It is possible that your ex might agree to waive payment of the full amount of the arrearages provided that you give him a partial lump sum payment. However, you must be careful since Dept. of Revenue is involved in the case. If DOR is involved because your ex receives or received AFDC then it is probable that DOR would have to approve any settlement. My personal experience is that DOR is not usually willing to do this. But this whole issue gets complicated by the spcifics of your case...a lot depends on how much DOR has been involved in the case. I would contact an attorney to assist in any negotiations.
