Best Answer

Depends on the reason as a man can be ordered to pay five years of retroactive child support on a child they never knew existed.

Answer

The real penalty is that the child knows you never supported him while he was growing up. Having been one of those children, I know what it feels like and it isn't positive. The determination required to stay angry at the other parent overrode good sense. The child is more important than that.

When a child goes to college do you still have to pay child support in Florida?

In the state of Florida, child support can end when the child reaches the age of emancipation, which is 18 years old in Florida, unless the child support order indicates otherwise. You should check your child support order if there is a statement indicating when support payments end. Check with the Clerk of Courts in the county where the child support order was entered to get a copy of your support order. You can have your child support payments terminated by applying with the Florida DOR or by court order through the modification process.

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.
