One can obtain child support through an Administrative Order or a Judicial Court Order if you are an unmarried custodial parent. However, you need to get assistance from an attorney who has experience handling child support cases. Child support issues should be addressed by someone knowledgeable and competent, as Florida has very specific guidelines for calculating how much support should be paid. The amount of support awarded is based upon the number of children in question as well as the combined net income of the parents. The child support obligation is divided up between the parents in proportion to their income or earning capacity.
