WENTWORTH, Senior Judge.
The Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services (HRS) and Marie Varner, who seeks increased child support for her minor child, challenge the trial court’s order dismissing their petition for modification and denying standing to HRS. We reverse.
In light of the Florida Supreme Court’s decision in Thaysen v. Thaysen, 583 So. 2d 663 (Florida Supreme Court 1991), subsequent to entry of the order appealed, it is now apparent that the trial court erred. The Thaysen court held that HRS attorneys may be used in all child support proceedings, including modifications, without regard to eligibility of the moving party for public assistance or the lack of delinquency in current payments.
We therefore reverse the order and remand for proceedings consistent herewith.
JOANOS, C.J., and BARFIELD, J., concur.

Williams v. State, 35 So. 3d 142 (Fla. 2d DCA 2010)…igations. Mr. Williams argues that the trial court violated his rights by ordering his money transferred to someone other than himself when the only pending motion was his request that the money be returned to him. He relies on Benedetti v. State, 584 So. 2d 203, 204 (Fla. 2d DCA 1991), which holds that the court cannot forfeit money to the State under these circumstances [*143] without providing the defendant with notice and an opportunity to be heard. We agree that Benedetti is controlling. Accordingly, w…
