Florida child support at a glance
- Guideline model: Combined net income schedule (income shares)
- Income used: Each parent's net income, added together for a combined net income (Fla. Stat. §61.30).
- High incomes: Above the schedule's $10,000 combined monthly net income, the obligation is the top schedule amount plus 5.0%, 7.5%, 9.5%, 11.0%, 12.0% or 12.5% of income over $10,000 for one to six children (§61.30(6)).
- Shared parenting time: A time-sharing adjustment applies when each parent exercises time-sharing at least 20 percent of the overnights in a year, which is 73 overnights (§61.30(11)(b)).
- When support ends: At 18; a court may extend support to 19 for a dependent child still in high school who is expected to graduate before 19 (§743.07).
