IN RE: AMENDMENTS TO FLORIDA FAMILY LAW RULES 

OF PROCEDURE—FORM 12.902(e).

January 13, 2022

PER CURIAM.

This matter is before the Court for consideration of proposed 

amendments to Florida Family Law Rule of Procedure Form 

12.902(e) (Child Support Guidelines Worksheet). See Fla. R. Gen. 

Prac. & Jud. Admin. 2.140(b)(1). We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 

2(a), Fla. Const.

The Florida Bar’s Family Law Rules Committee (Committee) 

filed a report proposing amendments to form 12.902(e). The 

Committee and the Board of Governors of The Florida Bar approved 

the proposed amendments. The Committee published its proposal 

for comment prior to filing it with the Court and received one 

comment in support of the proposed amendments. After the 

Committee filed its report, the Court published the proposal for 
- 2 -

comment. One comment was received in support of the proposed 

amendments, and the Committee filed a response.

Having considered the proposed amendments, the comment, 

and the Committee’s response, the Court hereby amends Florida 

Family Law Rule of Procedure Form 12.902(e) (Child Support 

Guidelines Worksheet) as proposed by the Committee, with a minor 

modification.

First, a sentence is added to the instructions for form 

12.902(e) providing that if the parties’ combined monthly net 

income is not listed on the Child Support Guidelines Chart, child 

support is to be calculated as provided by law. However, we modify 

the sentence to specifically reference section 61.30(6), Florida 

Statutes (Child support guidelines; retroactive child support), which 

explains how to calculate the child support amount if the obligor 

parent’s net income is less than the amount in the guidelines 

schedule or if the parties’ combined monthly net income is greater 

than the amount in the guidelines schedule.

Additionally, throughout the form’s instructions, references to 

the Rules of Judicial Administration are amended to reflect the 

updated name, the Rules of General Practice and Judicial 
- 3 -

Administration. See In re Amends. to Fla. Rules of Jud. Admin.—

2020 Regular-Cycle Report, 310 So. 3d 374 (Fla. 2021).

Accordingly, Form 12.902(e) is hereby amended as set forth in 

the appendix to this opinion. The form is fully engrossed and ready 

for use. The form may also be accessed and downloaded from the 

Florida State Courts’ website at 

https://www.flcourts.org/Resources-Services/CourtImprovement/Family-Courts/Family-Law-Self-HelpInformation/Family-Law-Forms. The amendments shall become 

effective April 1, 2022, at 12:01 a.m.

It is so ordered.

CANADY, C.J., and POLSTON, LABARGA, LAWSON, MUÑIZ, 

COURIEL, and GROSSHANS, JJ., concur.

THE FILING OF A MOTION FOR REHEARING SHALL NOT ALTER 

THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THESE AMENDMENTS.

APPENDIX

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FLORIDA FAMILY LAW RULES OF PROCEDURE 

FORM 12.902(e)

CHILD SUPPORT GUIDELINES WORKSHEET (04/22)

When should this form be used?

You should complete this worksheet if child support is being requested in your case. If you know the 

income of the other party, this worksheet should accompany your financial affidavit. If you do not know 

the other party’s income, this form must be completed after the other party files his or her financial 

affidavit, and serves a copy on you.

This form should be typed or printed in black ink. You should file this document with the clerk of the 

circuit court in the county where your case is filed and keep a copy for your records.

What should I do next?

A copy of this form must be filed with the court and served on the other party or his or her attorney. The 

copy you are serving to the other party must be either mailed, emailed, or hand-delivered to the opposing 

party or his or her attorney on the same day indicated on the certificate of service. If it is mailed, it must 

be postmarked on the date indicated in the certificate of service. Service must be in accordance with 

Florida Rule of General Practice and Judicial Administration 2.516.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING E-FILING

The Florida Rules of General Practice and Judicial Administration now require that all petitions, 

pleadings, and documents be filed electronically except in certain circumstances. Self-represented 

litigants may file petitions or other pleadings or documents electronically; however, they are not 

required to do so. If you choose to file your pleadings or other documents electronically, you must do so 

in accordance with Florida Rule of General Practice and Judicial Administration 2.525, and you must 

follow the procedures of the judicial circuit in which you file. The rules and procedures should be 

carefully read and followed. 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING E-SERVICE ELECTION

After the initial service of process of the petition or supplemental petition by the Sheriff or certified 

process server, the Florida Rules of General Practice and Judicial Administration now require that all 

documents required or permitted to be served on the other party must be served by electronic mail (email) except in certain circumstances. You must strictly comply with the format requirements set forth 

in the Florida Rules of General Practice and Judicial Administration. If you elect to participate in 

electronic service, which means serving or receiving pleadings by electronic mail (e-mail), or through the 

Florida Courts E-Filing Portal, you must review Florida Rule of General Practice and Judicial 

Administration 2.516. You may find this rule at www.flcourts.org through the link to the Rules of General

Practice and Judicial Administration provided under either Family Law Forms: Getting Started, or Rules 

of Court in the A-Z Topical Index. 

SELF-REPRESENTED LITIGANTS MAY SERVE DOCUMENTS BY E-MAIL; HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT 

REQUIRED TO DO SO. If a self-represented litigant elects to serve and receive documents by email, the 

procedures must always be followed once the initial election is made. 

To serve and receive documents by e-mail, you must designate your e-mail addresses by using the 

Designation of Current Mailing and E-mail Address, Florida Supreme Court Approved Family Law Form 

12.915, and you must provide your e-mail address on each form on which your signature appears. 

Please CAREFULLY read the rules and instructions for: Certificate of Service (General), Florida Supreme 

Court Approved Family Law Form 12.914; Designation of Current Mailing and E-mail Address, Florida 

Supreme Court Approved Family Law Form 12.915; and Florida Rule of General Practice and Judicial 

Administration 2.516.

Where can I look for more information?

Before proceeding, you should read “General Information for Self-Represented Litigants” found at the 

beginning of these forms. The words that are in “bold underline” in these instructions are defined there. 

For further information, see section 61.30, Florida Statutes.

Special notes. . .

If you want to keep your address confidential because you have been found by a judge to be the victim 

of sexual battery, aggravated child abuse, aggravated stalking, harassment, aggravated battery or 

domestic violence, do not enter the address, telephone, and fax information at the bottom of this form. 

Instead, file Request for Confidential Filing of Address, Florida Supreme Court Approved Family Law 

Form 12.980(h).

The chart below contains the guideline amounts that you should use when calculating child support. This 

amount is based on the number of children and the combined income of the parents, and it is divided 

between the parents in direct proportion to their income or earning capacity. From time to time, some 

of the amounts in the child support guidelines chart will change. Be sure you have the most recent version 

of the chart before using it.

If the parties’ combined monthly net income is not listed on the below chart, then calculate child support 

as provided by law in section 61.30(6), Florida Statutes.

Because the guidelines are based on monthly amounts, it may be necessary to convert some income and 

expense figures from other frequencies to monthly. You should do this as follows:

If payment is twice per month Payment amount x 2 = Monthly amount

If payment is every two weeks Payment amount x 26 = Yearly amount due

Yearly amount ÷ 12 = Monthly amount
Instructions for Florida Family Law Rules of Procedure Form 12.902(e), Child Support Guidelines Worksheet (04/22)

- 7 -

If payment is weekly Weekly amount x 52 = Yearly amount due

Yearly amount ÷ 12 = Monthly amount

If you or the other parent request that the court award an amount that is different than the guideline 

amount, you must also complete and attach a Motion to Deviate from Child Support Guidelines, Florida 

Supreme Court Approved Family Law Form 12.943.

Remember, a person who is NOT an attorney is called a nonlawyer. If a nonlawyer helps you fill out these 

forms, that person must give you a copy of a Disclosure from Nonlawyer, Florida Family Law Rules of 

Procedure Form 12.900(a), before he or she helps you. A nonlawyer helping you fill out these forms also 

must put his or her name, address, and telephone number on the bottom of the last page of every form 

he or she helps you complete.
