I receive SSA for my 2 children from my ex husband being disabled. Florida DOES consider that to be CS. Even though my ex works part time they don't look at that income.
 Also, what Social Security pays for each child is no where near CS guidelines. I recieve a little over $400 a month for 2 teenagers, but my new husband pays that in CS for one teenager.
 Every state is different, and every case is different. Try a free 15 minute consultation with an attorney to find out for sure.

Good Luck

LOL  It sure has been one heck of a roller coaster ride that's for sure.

And just when you think the ride is over...you get yanked back on.

Take care :-)

Thank you for your fast response. I don't think going for custody will be

worth it since our son will be 18 in two months, and it would take two

months just to get into court.

I am just perplexed with the situation.

Thanks again for your words of wisdom.

Dear Socrateaser,
 
 Both parties reside in Florida. CS was ordered in Florida in 2004.
 
 I am the non custodial parent who is paying CS. I went to the CS

website to view the account, but couldn't pull it up. I then called the

State of Florida Disbursement Unit who informed me that as of

yesterday there is over $12,000.00 sitting in the account. That my ex

wife has never accessed the account, and has refused to give them her

address.
 
According to the woman I talked to yesterday the money will sit in the

account indefinitely until my ex accesses the account.
 
Our son will turn 18 in  November, but will be in school until next May.

According to Florida Statutes I have to continue paying CS until he

finishes school.
 
 Question #1: Can I petition the court to cease CS in November since
 
 she has never accessed the account?
 
Question #2: Are there any other recourses I can pursue?
 
Thank You In Advance.
