Modification of a foreign child support order in Florida

Posted by Nydia Streets of Streets Law in Florida Child Support

Does a Florida court have jurisdiction to modify a foreign child support order? This issue is governed by the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA). It has specific provisions that allow (or do not allow) a Florida court to modify a foreign child support decree. This was an issue in the case Bravo v. Johnson, 1D2024-1057 (Fla. 1st DCA November 13, 2024).
