CASE, Associate Senior Judge.
Kunta Kinte Holley appeals from a final administrative support order
entered by the Department of Revenue, Child Support Enforcement Program. He
argues, and the Department concedes, that the Department erred in computing his
retroactive child support obligation. See § 61.30(17), Fla. Stat. (2017) (limiting the time
period for recovery of retroactive child support to twenty-four months prior to filing the
petition). The Department also acknowledges that it incorrectly used evidence related to
Holley's current income to calculate his retroactive support obligation despite having
information regarding his monthly income during the retroactive time period. See Salters
v. Dep't of Revenue ex rel. Mobley, 32 So. 3d 777, 778-79 (Fla. 2d DCA 2010) (stating that
the Department must calculate the retroactive support due using income information in its
possession from the retroactive time period). Therefore, we affirm Holley's current support
obligation but reverse his retroactive support obligation and remand for recalculation. In all
other respects, we affirm.
Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded.
SALARIO and ATKINSON, JJ., Concur.
