"Booster seats are necessary when a child outgrows his/her child safety seat, usually after 40 pounds or age 4. Children do not fit in adult shoulder/lap belts (without a booster seat) until they are 58 inches tall (with a sitting height of 29 inches) and weigh 80 pounds, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)."

What are the car seat requirements for the state of Florida?

Contact the Department of Motor Vehicles or a local Florida Child Protective Agency. They will have all of the information on the laws for child safety restraints. I do not believe that Florida has a booster seat law however my child is 6 weighs 45lbs and she is in a booster seat. They are not only safer than a regular seat belt for children but they will raise them enough to be able to see out the windows and they are very comfortable.

If the custody agreement specifies that the father needs your written permission to take the child out of the state of Georgia, and you deny him permission, then legally he would not be able to take the child out of the state without facing potential consequences such as violating the custody agreement. It is important to follow the terms of the custody agreement in order to avoid any legal issues.

How does receiving state benefits affect child support?

If you receive state benefits, the state child support agency will contact you for information about the non-custodial parent.

If you are receiving cash assistance (TANF), the State will retain the child support to reimburse for that expense.
