What factors determine child support in Florida?
The court sets the child support amount by using a formula that takes into account the number of children in the house and the net income of each parent. Either parent can be ordered to make child support payments.
Some of the factors figured into the child support formula include:
- Salary/wage of each parent
- Bonuses, commissions, allowances, tips
- All workers compensation, social security, disability benefits
- Interest and dividends
