    356 So. 2d 1263 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1978)   Cited 39 times
    In Meltzer v. Meltzer, 356 So.2d 1263 (Fla. 3d DCA 1978), cert. denied, 370 So.2d 460 (Fla. 1979), this court held that an increase in the husband's child support obligations for the parties' two children from $750 to $850 per month was manifestly insufficient.

    Banks v. Graham, 252 So.2d 864 (Fla. 3d DCA 1971). Likewise, where there is an increase in support payments, but that increase is not consonant with the established needs of the children, the trial judge abuses his discretion by not providing for an adequate amount. Luedke v. Behringer, 143 So.2d 218 (Fla. 2d DCA 1962). Cf. Fletcher v. Fletcher, 235 So.2d 520 (Fla. 1st DCA 1970), Hubble v. Hubble, 214 So.2d 896 (Fla. 1st DCA 1968). Even where the only change in circumstance is nothing more than a substantial increase in the earnings of the former spouse, child support may nonetheless be increased. Sherman v. Sherman, 279 So.2d 887 (Fla. 3d DCA 1973).
