Q: I'm looking to modify child support
I divorced in FL and was granted child support. A few months later we all moved to NV. While living there my ex filed for modification due to him being unemployed. Judge granted him to pay only $100 per month. Since then I moved back to FL. My ex has been working for the past 2 years or more. He refuses to say where he lives and works. What do I do to remodify this order and can I do it from FL?
(I have full custody of the child)
A: If the requirements for jurisdiction in Florida are met, the case can be filed in Florida. If that is met, then a modification for support may be able to be filed with the court, asking the court to change the amount based on the change in circumstances.
