Do child support rights and obligations differ if the parent is unmarried?
KellyBrian
Child support does not depend upon the legal relationship of the parents - instead, it is based upon the relationship between the parent and the child. Thus, parents who are unmarried are still parents and have the same parental rights and obligations to their children as a married or divorced couple would.

If there is a Florida court decision for child support and the obligated parent moves out of state... Is the parent still obligated to pay child support once having left Florida?
Yes. There is no federal law regarding child support so states honor each other's orders regarding child support. If you fail to make payments, Florida will show you as deliquent on child support. The state where you have moved will honor a request for a judgment against you or garnish your wages to pay the support obligations. You must continue to pay your obligations to the Florida court.
