Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
In the state of Florida, when the Department of Revenue is a party to a child support case, and one party's income has changed, is that party required to notify the other party of the new income? The court order says that the court and the DOR must be notified, but how does the other party know if a child support modification is needed if we don't know the new income? Thank you.

If one party thinks the other's income has increased then they can speak with staff at DOR (Department of Revenue) to see if they can submit documents requesting additional income information to the other party. Normally, every two or three years DOR will send out letters to the party paying child support to get updated income information. That's only as to some cases and not all so it depends on whether person who is receiving the child support will push DOR to present document requests to the party paying child support.
