Q: Hi, Can Florida Child support file a case for child support when there's an open case in the courts waiting for mediatio
The father has the child and pays $2.00 monthly per court order. the father reopened the case, which is pending Mediation, can he go to Depart of Revenue Child support program and have them put on new case for child support from the mother if there's already a judge court order for him to pay and the first case is still open.
Thanks
A: If the Department of Revenue has started a separate case you may need to ask the court to consolidate the cases. Whichever case began first would normally take precedence. You do not need to litigate child support in two separate cases. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.
