In the state of Florida, a parent has a legal duty to support their minor children. So technically yes, you must provide for the support of your minor children if you die.

Elective share is the right of the surviving spouse to take a statutory defined amount instead of what is provided for her in the will.<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243;
