| How To Find Your Child Support Case Number In Florida |
Digging Up the Past (Without the Shovel)
First, check your treasure trove of important documents. This could be a filing cabinet that resembles a paper avalanche, a meticulously organized binder system, or that random drawer where everything important goes to die (we've all got one). Look for court orders, receipts, or anything else child support-related. Bold the case number like a champion when you find it!
Searching Like a Bloodhound (Without the Drool)
If your inner detective is tingling, you have a couple of online options:
Tip: Keep your attention on the main thread.
- The Clerk's Office Website: Each Florida county has its own Clerk's Office website, and some offer nifty online search tools for court records. Dig around and see if you can unearth your case number there.
- CORE (Clerk's Office Online Records Search Tool): This might be your new best friend. CORE can help you find your case number, but be prepared to enter some basic information like your name or the other party's name.
Calling in the Cavalry (Because Sometimes You Need Help)
Still stuck? No worries! Here are your cavalry reinforcements:
- The Florida Department of Revenue: These folks are the child support superheroes of Florida. Call them at 1-850-488-KIDS (5437) and they'll be happy to assist you (except for Miami-Dade County, who have their own special number: 1-305-530-2600).
- Your County Clerk's Office: They may have a customer service line dedicated to child support inquiries. Find the contact information on their website.
Remember: A friendly and polite attitude goes a long way when dealing with any government agency.
QuickTip: Read with curiosity — ask ‘why’ often.
Now You're Back in Business!
With your case number in hand, you can tackle those child support tasks like a champ. You can:
- Access your case information online

High five! You've conquered the lost case number crisis.
