Q: NY child support order is till the children are 21. Order was transferred to FL where it’s 18
My question is that due to the fact all parties live in Florida and that Florida holds jurisdiction the order can be modified, but they are giving me a hard time because they say that the age of emancipation can’t be changed on the original order to that of Fl law is that so? Please help it seems to be the only thing that’s keeping the hearing officer from making a decision and I can’t find anything online that states that the age is modifiable. Thanks in advance
A: I believe that the Florida court is obligated, under the U.S. Constitution, to give full faith and credit to the decree of the courts of the other state.
