Yes, Florida has wide latitude to enforce child support orders, and the state can suspend your driver's license if you fall more than $500 behind on your obligation.

Even worse, bureaucratic confusion can result in inappropriate enforcement actions, because people may write a check directly to the other parent, or pay child support in cash increments as they are paid for work.

If you have been notified that a suspension is pending, contact an experienced Family Law attorney right away who can help you navigate a confusing system and establish a history of payments that may not have registered with Sarasota's Child Support Enforcement agency.
