Your employer or payor will be instructed to deduct the amount of money you have been ordered to pay. The payor shall also be instructed to deduct twenty percent (20%) of that periodic payment to be applied to any arrearage that may have accrued in your case.

Your employer or payor may deduct a fee for administrative costs of up to Five Dollars ($5.00) for the first periodic payment and up to Two Dollars ($2.00) for each periodic payment made thereafter (Section 61.13015, Florida Statutes).

If you support a spouse or dependent child other than those in this case, no more than 55% of your disposable earnings may be deducted per payment.
