In Florida Minors (even 17 years old) need the consent of their parents in order to marry.

At this point, because she is still a minor her rights are very limited. Within the dependency case, she can request to be heard by the Judge, but it is up to the Judge if he/she allows this. However, the parents are really the ones that need to step forward and move the Court to be reunited with... View More 
She is 14 and lives in Al with her dad. She is not enrolled in school. Her parents do not care if she lives with us. I want to have legal custody
answered on Nov 17, 2014
Unfortunately, Florida does not have jurisdiction over this child, Alabama does. Any legal action requesting custody of this child has to be done in Alabama. I suggest you consult an attorney there, since every state has different requirements. Once you have custody of the child, you can move to FL... View More

answered on Nov 17, 2014
Your questions is unclear. Do you mean that the child support has been paid to the Florida State Disbursement Unit? Who paid? How long has it been? Is there a case number assigned to this account?

I have custody of both of my children from my previous marriage. My oldest child wants to live with my ex. My ex is over $11,000 in arrears. My question is that if my son moves in with his dad, will his dad still have to pay me the back child support.
answered on Nov 17, 2014
Child Support arrears is a debt, therefore, the debt is owed until it is paid in full.
Or will only child support and dcf see this money
answered on Nov 17, 2014
No, you won't. However there are ways to request the Court to enter an order requiring him to pay you. Feel free to call me for additional information; 727-835-6595

Normally within the final judgement establishing the child support, there should be an automatic dropdown of the child support amount for when a child reaches the age of 18. In other words, there is supposed to be an automatic reduction/termination in child support when a child reaches 18. If there... View More

The OK order would have to be domesticated and thereafter a modification requested to grant you sole custody. The complexity of the case will depend on many factors, i.e. serving paternal grandmother and her objections if any.

No its not to late and within the paternity case you can request for a DNA test to ensure that "she is yours".
But they live in Florida and I live in south Carolina.

The older sister would have to get guardianship of the minor children. In addition the sister would have to prove that she is fit to care for her siblings, but in short, if she is 18 or older, she could request to have custody of her siblings.
answered on Sep 15, 2014
Depends. Anytime a modification (in this case a reduction) of child support, one has to prove a substantial change of circumstances, such as reduction of income. Your best option is to discuss the circumstances of your case with a Family Law Attorney to discuss your options.
answered on Sep 15, 2014
Unfortunately the Courts have determined that having more children and/or getting remarried does not constitute a change of circumstances to request a modification of child support. However, if you have a reduction of income or the mother of the children has had an increase of income, that would... View More
