Georgia Child Support Guidelines
In Georgia, child support payments are determined under structured child support worksheets. Even though Georgia courts adhere to a formula in calculating child support payments, disputes often arise. In fact, disputes regarding child custody and child support are often the most contentious. We work with our clients to develop child support solutions.
Calculating Child Support in a Georgia Divorce
Even though Georgia courts use a formula method to calculate the amount of child support a parent must pay, these worksheets can be complicated and having an experienced attorney who knows how to maximize the benefits of these worksheets can be extremely advantageous.
The current Georgia Child Support Guidelines take a number of factors into account when determining how much should be paid in child support, including:
- Income of the mother and father;
- Health Insurance costs;
- Educational and daycare expenses;
- Visitation related travel expenses;
- Cost of extracurricular activities; and
- Payment of child support for children from a previous relationship.
