Florida Statutes Title VI. Civil Practice and Procedure § 61.747. Order for child support

Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

If a court has issued an order granting caretaking authority, or an agreement granting caretaking authority has been executed, the court may enter a temporary order for child support authorized by general law if the court has jurisdiction under the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act. If a temporary order for child support is entered under this section, the court may:

(1) Enter a temporary order for child support from the deploying parent to the other parent pursuant to s. 61.30;

(2) Require the deploying parent to enroll the child as a military dependent with DEERS, TriCare, or other similar benefits available to military dependents as provided by the deploying parent's branch of service; or

(3) Suspend, abate, or reduce the child support obligation of the other parent until the custody judgment or time-share order previously in effect is reinstated.
