Child Support in Osceola County, Florida

Osceola County hears child support cases at the Jon B. Morgan Osceola County Courthouse in Kissimmee. The Ninth Judicial Circuit assigns a dedicated child support hearing officer to Office 3100 there. Most new cases start with the Florida Department of Revenue Child Support Program, not a courthouse filing.

Ninth Circuit hearing officers handle Title IV-D matters on DOR's behalf. That covers paternity, setting a support amount, enforcement, medical support, modification, and interstate cases under the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act. A parent opens a case with DOR by phone or online. Any hearing that follows takes place at Office 3100 in the Kissimmee courthouse.

Child support tied to a parent's own divorce or paternity case, rather than one DOR opened, usually goes before a family law magistrate instead. Both paths use the same statewide guidelines worksheet and financial affidavit to calculate the amount.

To modify an order, a parent files a Supplemental Petition to Modify, Form 12.905(b), and shows a substantial change in circumstances. Once an order is entered, collection runs through the Florida State Disbursement Unit, not the Osceola Clerk.

How child support is calculated in Florida

Florida sets child support with a statewide income shares guideline (Fla. Stat. 61.30) that applies the same way in Osceola County, FL as everywhere else. The guideline combines:

1. Both parents' net incomes, combined into one child support obligation.
2. The number of overnights each parent has with the child (the time-sharing schedule).

The guideline result is presumed correct, and the parties complete a Child Support Guidelines Worksheet along with a Financial Affidavit (Florida Supreme Court approved family law form 12.902(b) or 12.902(c)) so the court can calculate the amount.

Where child support cases are handled in Osceola County, FL

Child support in Osceola County, FL is handled through the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida, Osceola County, and, for enforcement and establishment cases that do not involve a private attorney, the Florida Department of Revenue Child Support Program, which can open a case at no cost to the parents. There are two common paths:

1. A parent requests support inside a dissolution, paternity, or existing family case by motion, with a Financial Affidavit.
2. The Department of Revenue Child Support Program opens an administrative or court case to establish, collect, and enforce support.

Local notes for Osceola County, FL

The Osceola Clerk's website blocks automated checks, so this guide can't confirm office hours or self-help details straight from the source. Call the clerk's family division directly, or check osceolaclerk.com yourself, before you visit.

Osceola shares its circuit child support contact number, 407-836-2287, with the Orange County office. Both fall under the Ninth Judicial Circuit's domestic relations division. Ask which office and room number applies to your case: 3100 in Kissimmee or 540 in Orlando.

The Osceola Clerk's published fee schedule splits the standard dissolution fee into two parts: $397.50 collected at filing and $10.50 collected at final judgment. Together they total the statewide $408 figure, but this is not a child support filing fee. A supplemental petition to modify support carries its own separate cost; this guide could not confirm that amount, so check with the clerk directly.
