How is child support calculated in Miami Florida when a parent is not working? Is there a certain amount that is standard?

Each case is different. It also depends on the persons assets, such as savings, and other financial obligations
This lawyer has a whole article about FLA law: denmon.lawyer/
There are some FLA residents on this site who hopefully will weigh in with knowdge of the state rules and regs.
Florida support laws are set up to serve the best interest of the child and that requires many calculations that involve both parents.
I would like to add or correct something that was stated in my previous answer.
Should a judge decide to send someone to jail for non-payment of child support they will usually decide if support payments will be stopped temporarily while the person is incarcerated or if it will continue to accumulate.
Also, bear in mind, that I just live in Florida and have nothing to do with the court system (at the present time) so what I state is not a legal statement as different counties also have their own rules about child support (but usually always coincide with the state rules.
You cannot - and should not - take what I have stated as a legal view and that is why you definitely need an attorney to help you through this period in your life.
When it comes to matters that pertain to laws you should never accept the advice of someone on a community site that may or may not know what they are talking about.
