Opinion:
Per Curiam.
The Department of Revenue appeals the administrative law judge's Final Administrative Support Order, in which the father, Carlos Lopez, was ordered to pay child support and retroactive child support to the mother, Haydie Marquez, on whose behalf the Department was acting to establish Lopez's support obligation to their child. See § 409.2557(1) & (2), Fla. Stat. (2017).
