Child Support
The State’s burden of proof is much harder to establish on cases where the license has been suspended for unpaid traffic tickets, or in cases where the license has been suspended because of a lapse in insurance, or other reasons such as unpaid child support or parking tickets. Florida law creates what is called a “rebuttable presumption”, which means that the prosecutor can argue that because the Department of Motor Vehicles mails a notice of suspension to the driver, it is presumed that the driver knew about the suspension. However, this does not mean the driver has no defense to the charge. Often times the driver in these cases has failed to update his or her address with the Department of Motor Vehicles, and never received the notice. In other cases the driver received the letter and simply never opened the envelope. It would ultimately be up to a judge or jury to determine whether the driver knew of the license suspension at the time of the offense.
