A parent’s child support obligation may mean more than just the monetary obligation the parent is required to pay. In the state of Florida, the Court has the authority to order a parent to carry a life insurance policy to secure the child support amount. This will ensure that the children will be provided for in the event that the parent dies before the child has reached the age a majority. In ordering life insurance, the Court must first consider the availability and cost of the insurance as well as the financial impact it will have on the party.
