Clermont, FL asked in Child Support for Florida

Q: 2017 my ex n I decided to cohabitate w/ our 2 minor children under 1 roof. He still pays child support, is that okay?

Is it okay and legal that we still have an order of child support that we both agree with as to protect our children if anything were to change in our living together. His first divorce is modifying her child support for many reasons but in her child support guidelines worksheet she is NOT including his court ordered child support for our two children, is that legal, can they by law do that?

A: The child support order is an order of the court that remains in effect until either parent goes to court to change it. Going to court is up to you.
