Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I had a situation where i had a child and we where not married. he had owed around $64,000 in back child support. I went to mediation with him and the mediator told me that most likely I would only get $15,000 If brought before the judge. We settled at around that.

My question....he is again not current on child support...can i reverse the mediators ruling and go back to the origanal amount owed?

The mediator cannot make rulings. You must have entered into an agreement. What you would have to do is go back on that agreement. You probably cannot reverse that. What you can do is file a contempt motion.

Only if your agreement provided for that contingency. Your attorney should have so advised.
