Pompano Beach, FL asked in Child Support for Florida

Q: How will my cs get calculated if he is already paying 50-60% in a previous order?

My ex husband (Seperated) is paying 50-60% in cs (not in the marriage). How will my child support be calculated (we have two children) if he is already paying what the state requires? Will the previous order get modified?

He also adopted my daughter does he pay childsupport for her too?

A: You have many questions, but I do not understand the facts. Has someone petitioned for a modification? I also do not understand the procedural stance of the case. He would have to pay child support for an adopted child. Get to an attorney for a full discussion.
