WHEREAS, the Florida Kid Care Program has comparable premium rates and coverage to group health insurance for those eligible to receive this insurance, WHEREAS, in order for a potential contemner to be sanctioned for civil contempt he or she must have the present ability to pay the previously ordered support, and WHEREAS, in many cases such inability to pay the previously ordered support is because of a lack of suitable employment, NOW THEREFORE, it is hereby ORDERED that whenever child support is hereinafter ordered such order shall contain a provision for group health insurance available at a reasonable rate or in the alternative, to those eligible, health insurance for minors available through the Florida Kid Care Program.
If the inability to pay previously ordered support is due to lack of suitable employment, then the judicial officer is authorized to order that the obligor not paying child support for that reason to register at one of the Brevard Job Link Offices and/or the Parenting Resource and Education Program (PREP) to conduct a good faith effort to find work and to further authorize release of the information to a representative of the judiciary to verify compliance with the order.
Done and Ordered this 12th day of June 2002.
