 What Is Child Support? 

Child support is a court-ordered payment made by one parent to the other to help cover the financial needs of their child. This includes expenses like housing, food, clothing, education, medical care, and extracurricular activities. The goal is to ensure that children continue to receive the support they need, regardless of changes in their parents’ relationship. 

 How Is Child Support Calculated? In Florida, child support is typically determined using a formula that considers factors such as: 

*  Each parent’s income and earning capacity
* Number of children involved
* Time each parent spends with the child
* Childcare, health insurance, and educational expenses
