Child Support Hearing Officers

Child Support Hearing Officers assist the judges assigned to the domestic relations division by hearing cases which help reduce the large caseload assigned to each judge. The hearing officers are responsible for hearing and resolving all Department of Revenue related child support cases. These cases include voluntary paternity actions, establishment of support, public assistance reimbursement, medical/health insurance obligations and the enforcement and modification of existing support orders. The hearing officers also hear and resolve establishment, enforcement and modification of out of state support requests (UIFSA actions). With a successful hearing officer program, the citizens of the State of Florida are assured that state tax dollars and assets are used effectively and efficiently to have the parents of minor children provide for the support and well-being of their children.
