Okay, the Income Withholding For Support Form FL-195 is a form you will fill out if there is an order for spousal support or child support and you want to have that support deducted directly from your spouses employer. It is not mandatory that you do this, meaning your spouse can simply write you a check every month.

Here are the steps:
