Ok, I got your response to my last post and was going to edit it to reflect this question, but it was too late.

Anyways, I would like to know what would happen if the CP petitioned to modify child support upwards.

My income has increased since initial support order, and it has been over 3 years since then.

I believe that the CP's income has increased as well.

I would like to know if Florida Child Support guidelines would apply to my case or if Virginia guidelines (which are substantially lower) would apply to my case.

I have heard mixed answers and I am really wondering why it is so difficult to clarify.

I live in Virginia, child and CP live in Florida. Florida has jurisdiction over the case.

My questions are as follows:

1) In the even that CP petitions for upward modification of Child Support, which guidelines would apply?

Thanks again SOC.

FL, until none of the parties, or the child reside therein.
