Child support is the financial obligation that allows parents to support their children, even if they do not physically live with them. To determine how much each parent is required to pay, several factors are taken into consideration.
Some of the most important factors in child support include:
- The income of parents
- The health care and child care needs of the child
- The standard needs of the child

Florida’s Child Support Guidelines & Your Case
How much will you pay in child support? The answer is different for each situation. According to §61.30 of the Florida Statutes, child support guidelines factor in the parents’ combined monthly net income and the number of children.
Here are a few examples of Florida’s child support guidelines:
- For a monthly net income of $800, the minimum support for one child is $190, but for six children it would be $220.
- For a monthly net income of $10,000, the minimum support ordered for one child is set at $1,437.
- For a monthly net income of over $10,000, the paying parent must pay the minimum set for $10,000, plus a percentage multiplied against the amount over $10,000. For example, it is 5% multiplier for one child.
