    My question involves child support in the State of: Florida.
    We got divorce 6 years ago, then I was making 25 per hour and she was making some less, now I am making 27 and she must be well above 35-40
    my child support amount is 700 a month, between insurance and 300 i give her. plus all the money i spend when i am with my daughter 50% of the time.
    How can I lower that amount, I have lots my job 3 times in tle last 3 years.
    I deplited my savings.
    Almost lost my house.
    run out of unemployment money 3 times...
    I need help, I know my child deserves the best, but the best comes from mam, she takes her to disney 3 times a year for a week, brand new car, two houses, trips overseas, electronic toys and soforth, while I am strugling like crazy.
    Please help.

    I plugged the numbers into the FL child support calculator; if I were you I wouldn't rock the boat at all.

    Your monthly income is around $4680, yes? Then you're doing VERY well paying $700/month.

    Before I go further, could you please clarify something for me?

    The $700/month - is that the actual child support amount ordered or is that a combination of child support plus insurance?

    The actual wording of your order might help, too (minus names of course).
