Q: My ex husband is always late with child support payments, whats the best thing to do in this case?
My ex is late with payments and not consistent with the time sharing of our son, he doesn't want to pay but he demands my son the days and weekends he wants to have him not following court papers,since he doesn't live in FL. Can I go back to court and ask for full custody? What would happen with the child support?
A: In Florida you have a right to an income withholding order, which would deduct the child support directly from his pay check. If he demands the child when it is not his time per the agreement then you can say no. If this is a consistent problem then you can go back to court for help. It is not realistic to expect "full custody." You will be "sharing" the child until he is 18.
