What happens when you get fired from your job in Florida and you can't afford child support?

You go to court to have the support order modified. Or you just stop paying it and go to jail. Your choice. It's not your child's fault you got fired, and it's not like they suddenly stop needing to eat. At the very least you should be paying as much of your child support as you can.


How much jail time for non payment of child support?

http://www.fathers4kids.com/html/ChildSupport.htm?article_id=78 "Yes. You may be placed in jail for up to six months for not paying child support. The legal basis for placing you in jail is "contempt of court." Contempt of court is a legal term that means you are not following a court order. You may also be fined up to $500 for each violation and have to pay attorney?s fees and court costs." That previous answer was incorrect that the support does not accrue while you are imprisoned. The support continues to bill, meaning it will be in arrears even more when released.

Can your husband adopt your child that you have custody of?

Not until the parental rights of the biological father have been terminated.There are a couple ways to do that:The bio father gives his consent and voluntarily surrenders his parental rights.You go to court and can get them to involuntarily terminate his parental rights; this one is much more difficult: if the bio father has abandoned the child, isn't paying child support, is in jail or is a danger to the child (or something similar), you may have a case, but if he's visiting and paying support you will have to go with the first option.

How can you find out how much you should get in child support?

Child support is determined by the number of children you have in your care and the financial situation of the parent that is paying child support. Since every person's financial situation is different the amount people have to pay for child support varies from case to case. There is no set amount. The only way you can find out how much you should receive is to go to court to sue your children's' other parent for child support. The court will them determine how much should be paid every month.
