Are there public defenders in Florida (clay county) who represent child support cases?

If you have a Department of Revenue case, an attorney will be assigned - because the DOR is a party to the lawsuit. If you are filing your own case that involves child support (divorce, paternity), a lawyer is not assigned to help you.

You need to go to the DOR and ask for a case to be opened up.

If you are simply seeking child support, the DOR is the place to start. If you are talking about "custody" and "time sharing" (as I saw you mention in a reply) you will have to file a Petition to Determine Paternity action which will encompass the parental responsibility, timesharing, and child support. If you are looking for a "free" attorney for that sort of case, you should contact the Legal Aid office - but it is becoming more and more difficult for them to take cases due to their limited resources.

No. . Public Defenders only get involved in criminal cases. Please click on the following link for the Jacksonville Area Legal Aid. They may be able to help you. http://www.jaxlegalaid.org/contact.html Lawrence J. Marraffino Gainesville Family Law Attorney
