1Opinion of the CourtCobb, J.
The issue on this appeal deals with the correct computation of child support where the lower court modified an earlier final judgment of paternity.
On January 10, 1996, James Stokes, Jr. filed a petition for an adjudication of paternity pursuant to Chapter 742, Florida Statutes. Stokes alleged that he believed he was the natural father of a minor child born on August 19, 1995. The natural mother was appellee, Linda Huelsman. On July 16, 1996, the trial court established Stokes to be the natural father. A settlement agreement was filed and incorporated into the “Final Judgment of Paternity”…
