Florida Child Support Calculator PDF Details

Calculating child support can often be a complex process for families navigating through the waves of the legal system in Florida. At the core of this process is the Florida Family Law Rules of Procedure Form 12.902(e), Child Support Guidelines Worksheet, a crucial document designed to ensure that the financial needs of children are met fairly by both parents. This form comes into play when one party seeks child support, requiring detailed information about both parties' incomes to compute the support amount accurately. Filling out this worksheet accurately is of paramount importance and involves converting income and expenses into monthly amounts, alongside a chart that varies based on the number of children and combined parental income. Its completion is mandatory following the acquisition of the other party’s financial affidavit to ensure full compliance with the Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.516. Furthermore, this document emphasizes protecting the identities of those victims of domestic violence or abuse by offering the option to file a Request for Confidential Filing of Address. Noteworthy is the provision to request a deviation from the standard support guidelines under certain circumstances, as well as the mandatory disclosure form for those receiving assistance from nonlawyers. This overview underscores the Florida Child Support Guidelines Worksheet’s role in the child support calculation process, ensuring that every child’s financial needs are equitably accounted for according to Florida law.

Before proceedi g, you should read Ge eral I for atio for “elf-Represe ted Litiga ts fou d at the beginning of these forms. The words that are in bold underline in these instructions are defined there. For further information, see section 61.30, Florida Statutes.

Special notes...

If you want to keep your address confidential because you are the victim of sexual battery, aggravated child abuse, aggravated stalking, harassment, aggravated battery or domestic violence, do not enter the address, telephone, and fax information at the bottom of this form. Instead, file Request for Confidential Filing of Address, Florida Supreme Court Approved Family Law Form 12.980(h).

The chart below contains the guideline amounts that you should use when calculating child support. This amount is based on the number of children and the combined income of the parents, and it is divided between the parents in direct proportion to their income or earning capacity. From time to time, some of the amounts in the child support guidelines chart will change. Be sure you have the most recent version of the chart before using it.

Because the guidelines are based on monthly amounts, it may be necessary to convert some income and expense figures from other frequencies to monthly. You should do this as follows:

Instructions for Florida Family Law Rules of Procedure Form 12.902(e), Child Support Guidelines Worksheet (09/12)

If payment is twice per month	Payment amount	x	2	=	Monthly amount
If payment is every two weeks	Payment amount	x	26	=	Yearly amount due
	Yearly amount	÷	12	=	Monthly amount
If payment is weekly	Weekly amount	x	52	=	Yearly amount due
	Yearly amount	÷	12	=	Monthly amount

If you or the other parent request that the court award an amount that is different than the guideline amount, you must also complete and attach a Motion to Deviate from Child Support Guidelines, Florida Supreme Court Approved Family Law Form 12.943.

Remember, a person who is NOT an attorney is called a nonlawyer. If a nonlawyer helps you fill out these forms, that person must give you a copy of a Disclosure from Nonlawyer, Florida Family Law Rules of Procedure Form 12.900(a), before he or she helps you. A nonlawyer helping you fill out these forms also must put his or her name, address, and telephone number on the bottom of the last page of every form he or she helps you complete.
