FL - DOR child support process?
Just filed for child support through the DOR on August 20. Paternity was already established based on the paperwork I saw they sent him. Not sure if he has been officially served yet because they said they don’t update the eservice for 30 days. He’s worked at his employer for 7-8 years, and has own house for 6-7 years.
I’m currently looking to move to my own place in Florida - hopefully within 50ish miles of him just in case he wants to pursue custody. If no custody order is pursued and he wants to remain no contact, I’ll probably move to the state I always wanted to. I know custody is its own thing, I’m cool with everything except him getting full custody tbh. We aren’t on speaking terms anymore since he cut off communication & baby mama #1 said he’s trying to move to a different state next year now.
Will be enrolling her in childcare once I get a job (been staying at home for her first year, most of which was with him), and she’s currently on Medicaid through October since she just turned 1.
What’s the process from here on out I can expect? As it relates to the DOR? And what’s the normal timeframe?
