Support Order {JDF 1117}

JDF 1117 - SUPPORT ORDER. This form is used by the court to establish and enforce financial support obligations in family law cases, such as child support or spousal support. This form outlines the amounts to be paid, the frequency of payments, and the party responsible for making the payments. It may also detail unpaid or retroactive support, and it provides instructions on how payments should be made (e.g., via wage assignment or direct payments). Additionally, the form includes provisions for securing insurance for the children, addressing how to handle medical expenses, and informing both parties about the consequences of non-payment, including garnishments, fines, or other legal actions. The court may also order the use of income assignments, which allows support to be directly deducted from a party's wages. The form specifies what happens when children emancipate, how to request modifications, and the importance of notifying the court of any changes in contact information. www.FormsWorkflow.com
