Judge to increased the monthly amount since it would take over 5 years to get it back and he was getting money but decided not to pay the full monthly child support?
answered on Apr 28, 2019
The Judge can order up to 20% of the monthly child support as arrears payments. So for example, if he pays $300 a month, the Judge could order up to $60 extra a month. Most Judges order around 10% of the monthly child support for arrears. Hope this help you.

In Florida when you have 33% or more overnights, it is a reason for the child support to be reduced. There is a child support formula that is applied and the number of overnights are plugged into the calculation. Good luck.
