NATHAN B. ROBINSON, APPELLANT,
v.
LUZ ANGELA ROBINSON, APPELLEE
PER CURIAM.
We affirm the trial court’s denial of appellant’s petition for modification of child support. The trial court concluded that the change of circumstances was voluntary, and the evidence supports that conclusion. Appellant did not take job opportunities available to him and has engaged only in a limited job search in the construction industry, from which he may be disabled by medical problems. He has chosen not to seek employment in other lines of work in which he also has skills. Instead, as the trial court noted, he has voluntarily chosen to embark on self-employment. He has not satisfied the heavy burden of proof required to sustain a modification. Conklin v. Conklin, 551 So. 2d 1279 (Fla. 4th DCA 1989).

Service is not vitiated by the registered agent’s failure to give the corporation notice that it had received suit papers on its behalf. Leasefirst v. Allied Mach, of S. Fla., Inc., 597 So. 2d 415 (Fla. 4th DCA 1992). In the instant case, Cam-La designated Garfield as its registered agent as required by sections 48.091(1) and 607-0501(1), Florida Statutes (1989). This authorized Garfield to receive service of process on behalf of Cam-La. See…

Whitney v. Drue Leslye Whitney, 624 So. 2d 275 (Fla. 3d DCA 1993)…oubtedly view the license as an additional qualification.4 In addition, the CPA license would have enabled Mr. Whitney to make attempts to acquire additional employment; i.e., preparing tax returns to supplement his income. See Robinson v. Robinson, 597 So. 2d 415 (Fla. 4th DCA 1992); Conklin v. Conklin, 551 So. 2d 1279 (Fla. 4th DCA 1989). Because the record contains substantial competent evidence supporting the trial court’s order, I am unable to conclude that the court abused its discretion and would affi…
