Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
My ex and I set up our de novo child custody arrangement as originally ordered by the courts for when the child came of age to start school. In the original court order he was to pay back child support & half of our child's insurance premium to me. He made VERY few of those payments and now he is claiming that because of the new custody agreement that states "The custody will remain 50/50 as originally ordered by the court and no additional child support will be given to either party. No additional monies are due." that he no longer owes the financial obligation ordered by the court in out dissolution of marriage.
1 Answer from Attorneys
Back child support and a continuing support obligation are two different things. The back support obligation remains unless it was vacated by the court (your question does not indicate it was). You can contact the Florida Department of Revenue's child support enforcement division to attempt to collect the back support.
