Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
My former spouse and I entered into an agreed Supplemental Final Judgment for Modification on August 14th 2015. I received notice that my former spouse filed a Motion to Amend to lower monthly child support and arrears. We both filed financial affidavits in this case and based on those, the amount my former spouse is asking for is much lower than Florida state guidelines calculate. What is the best way to prove this in my counter to his motion?

Consider filing a Motion to Dismiss his Motion to Amend. Normally CS is not modifiable by Motion, only by Petition unless the FJ specifically allows modification by Motion.

Agree, he has to file a supplemental petition.
