Both parents have financial responsibilities in accordance with their financial abilities to support their children until a child either turns 18, marries, or becomes otherwise emancipated. Child support is established through the use of mandatory guidelines of the Florida state legislature and is based on aspects such as the parties’ income, number of children, and the children’s time sharing with parents. Child support orders can be modified if there has been a substantial change in circumstances such as significant increase or decrease in income of one of the parents, or change of how much time the child spends with one parent.
