Under Florida law, child support is determined in accordance with very specific guidelines that are set forth in section 61.30 of the Florida Statutes. Child support is for the sole benefit of the child and is not a benefit of either parent. Therefore, parents can not waive child support and the child support amount can also include an allocation of the costs of medical insurance for the minor child, as well as day care expenses.
