Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Probably not. She might try, but I think will see through that pretty easily. I don't know what you mean by technically taken care of your child - either you contributed support, or you didn't. You'll have to demonstrate to the Court that you fulfilled your legal responsibility of supporting your child the last 6 years. You will do that by your own testimony, the testimony of credible witnesses, and your records. For example, if you helped your wife pay the rent or mortgage where she and the child were living, that's support. If the child was living with you for a period of time, that's support. As a parent, you have a legal duty to support your children. When you and your wife and children live under the same roof as a family, that's support and of course there's no involvement by the legal system in that relationship. It's only when Moms and Dads separate and a legal action is filed, does the legal system become involved. So, even though there was no court order requiring you to pay money to your wife to support your child for the past 6 years, you still had the legal duty to support your son or daughter. The manner and methods of how you accomplished that duty are the things you will need to present to the Court. hope that helps.

Not likely. You reconciled for a bit so the time starts over. Plus the clerk probably dismissed the case for lack of activity.
