97-19-B IN RE: CLERK OF COURT - AUTHORITY OF THE CLERK OF THE COURT TO ZERO OUT AN ARREARAGE RESULTING FROM A TEMPORARY ORDER OF CHILD SUPPORT WHEN THE FINAL JUDGMENT OF DISSOLUTION IS SILENT AS TO THAT ARREARAGE - ORDERED 5/14/1997 BY JOHN DEAN MOXLEY JR
EXCERPT: “WHEREAS there are instances in a dissolution of marriage action where prior to the conclusion of the action an order for temporary child support has been entered and an arrearage has accrued but the final judgment does not address this arrearage. WHEREAS the law is clear that when there is an arrearage from a temporary child support order and the arrearage is not addressed in the final judgment the arrearage is voided and no longer collectible. It is thereupon, ORDERED: That the Clerk of the Court for Brevard County shall be authorized to zero out the arrearage that exists in their records as a result of a temporary child support order when a final judgment of dissolution of marriage is entered which does not address or include any provisions regarding the temporary support arrearage.
This order will take effect immediately. DONE AND ORDERED this 14TH day of MAY 1997.”
