Child support is the monetary obligation ordered by the Court for the support of a child or children.

Cases where the support is ordered by the Court resulting from a Dissolution of Marriage are designated as private cases.

Cases where support is ordered by the Court at the initiation of the Department of Revenue (DOR) are designated as Title IV D cases. The Department of Revenue is also responsible for enforcement and management of the support of these cases. Any request for hearings on Title IV D cases must be filed with Department of Revenue. The original should be filed with the Clerk of Court and a copy mailed to Department of Revenue.

NOTE: If your child has turned 18 years old and is still in high school, child support can be extended if the Court order reflects that it can be extended until graduation. You must provide a letter from the school on their letterhead stating the graduation date of the child.

Regardless of the case type, all support payments are to be paid through the Florida State Disbursement Unit (SDU) unless otherwise directed by the Court.
