Under Florida law, child support is always subject to modification—in fact, it cannot be designated as “nonmodifiable.” This includes child support ordered from a previous divorce, a paternity action or a support order established by the Florida Department of Revenue.
If there is a prior order in place, a parent, or in some instances the Department of Revenue, may file for a modification if there is a substantial change in circumstances. A change in circumstances can result from many things, but to modify child support the change must be “sufficient, material, involuntary and permanent in nature” and significantly impact the support obligation.
