No, the custodial parent does not have topay anything to the other parent. The NON-custodial parent will still have to pay something as their contribution to the support of the child(ren) , but because of the difference in incomes it may be fairly small.

∙ 14y agoIt primarily affects the percentage of extras, such as insurance, but requires a 20% overall change in projected payment in order to be considered a change of circumstances.
Can you tell me more ? If my income goes up, can he take me back to court right away ? How would I know what to expect as far as a reduction goes?

∙ 12y agoYes. It's not just the parent making most money that has to pay for the child. How much you have to pay will be based on the income.

What is considered to be support for child support?
In Florida, what is taken into consideration is the custodial AND non-custodial parents income. An affidavit is filed in court (for the hearing), to accurately provide the financial information on both parents. Those numbers need to be verified and are used to determine the custodial parents' financial obligation for all expenses regarding the childrens' needs AND the non-custodial parents' obligation for the same. Usually 49% and 51% respectively. For example: Custodial parents' income is higher than non-custodial. 4 teenagers in High School (no daycare) with higher than normal expenses for food, clothing etc. No medical issues require a total of $1200/month to raise. Custodial parent- 49%= $588 (doesnt have to be paid because you have kids) Non-custodial parent-51%= $612 (you are "awarded" this amount) IF SHE EVEN PAYS
