INSTRUCTIONS FOR FLORIDA FAMILY LAW RULES OF PROCEDURE FORM
12.902(e), CHILD SUPPORT GUIDELINES WORKSHEET (09/12)
When should this form be used?
You should complete this worksheet if child support is being requested in your case. If you know the
income of the other party, this worksheet should accompany your financial affidavit. If you do not k o the other party’s income, this form must be completed after the other party files his or her
financial affidavit, and serves a copy on you.
This form should be typed or printed in black ink. You should file the original with the clerk of the circuit court in the county where your case is filed and keep a copy for your records.
What should I do next?
A copy of this form must be served on the other party in your case. Service must be in accordance with Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.516.
Where can I look for more information?
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 |

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.
