Book excerpt: In July 2017, the Florida Legislature through its Office of Economic and Demographic Research contracted with the Department of Economics at Florida State University to undertake the present review. The review included seven tasks: 1. Select the most appropriate statistical methodologies to establish the cost of raising children in Florida compared to overall consumption expenditures as the term is commonly used within the economics profession. 2. Establish the relationship between consumption and income using different nd appropriate economic data sets. 3. Provide a comparison of Florida data to national data using the varying economic data sets. 4. Using the appropriate methodology and data, review and, if necessary, revise the child support guidelines incorporating findings from 1 – 3 above, which are based on the cost of raising children in Florida. To the extent possible, proposed guidelines should incorporate ease of use and facilitate electronic filing. 5. Provide policy options to meet the objective of setting low-income obligor payments such that a child avoids poverty while the obligor’s subsistence needs are also met. 6. Provide a methodology that is consistent, to the extent possible, with the December 20, 2016, Federal Register final rule change to 45 C.F.R. 302.56(h)(1) and (2). Where such methodology is not currently feasible or a change is not appropriate, identify, discuss, and provide any necessary recommendations for overcoming barriers to adherence with the revised Federal regulation for subsequent quadrennial reviews.
