Child Support

GA Child Support | GA Child Support Guidelines / GA Child Support Worksheet

One question always in the mind of a divorcing parent is the question of child support,  who will pay child support and how much will the child support be.

Whether you pay child support or receive it, it is best to look at the support as an award to the children, with the parent receiving it a trustee of the award.  In Georgia, the amount of child support is determined by using a formula set by Georgia’s state statutes and is called the Georgia Child Support Guidelines. The GA Child Support Guidelines take into consideration each parent’s income and allow for various adjustments based on the agreement by the parents, or by order of the court.  Even though there are guidelines for child support, the court has broad discretion in their award.  No matter what process you arrived at your divorce, Uncontested, Mediated, Collaboration or Litigation, the GA child support guild lines will need to be considered if you have minor children.

Modifying and Enforcing Child Support Orders

There is much confusion about when and how frequently child support modifications may be filed and how to get a child support order enforced. If you have already received or are paying a child support order, but circumstances have changed since your divorce or your last modification you may be able to have your GA Child Support order modified to reflect your current situation or agreement with your spouse.

Also, if you received a GA child support order and you or our spouse have not honored the terms of the order,  a spouse may file a contempt motion.
