The Florida Department of Revenue’s Child Support Program, provides many services to separated or divorced parents of minor children. The program helps custodial parents find absent parents so that they may have a role in the financial support of their children. In addition, the program will assist in locating potential assets of the non-custodial parent which can be used for child support. The program also offers services to establish paternity. Finally, the program will enforce existing child support orders, establish new child support orders and provide electronic methods for parents to make and receive child support payments.
The State of Florida has online assistance for parents who want to make child support payments or are receiving child support payments. The eServices site allows you to get updates on your case, see payments made and see your child support order. The myFloridacounty website allows you to make payments online.

The Florida child support calculator is a worksheet used by the Florida courts to make a determination as to how much child support is to be paid by a parent in the event of divorce or separation. In order to calculate the amount you may owe, you will need to have your income and costs available. The amount you calculate will only be an estimate. An actual child support order may be different based upon individual circumstances.
