Georgia law requires both parents of a child to pay for their child's material support, including a safe, secure place to live, food and clothing, and other needs. When the parents are no longer together, the parent with primary physical custody, or the parent with more modest financial means, may petition the court for monetary support from the other parent. While we know that each parent wants their child to be cared for, and not in want, the issue of child support is still contentious, and the matter often escalates to court. Our Marietta, GA child support lawyer helps you obtain a fair resolution to your case. At Vayman & Teitelbaum, P.C., we represent both paying parents and recipients of child support. We know that this is a stressful time, and we’re here to help. Learn more in a personalized consultation with our legal team.
Child Support Lawyer Marietta, GA
Georgia child support laws are intended to ensure that each parent provides for their child's material needs. Whether you are eligible for support, or whether you can be required to pay it depends on which parent has primary physical custody of the child and each parent’s financial means. We know that dealing with your child’s other parent regarding financial support can be emotionally taxing. Count on our Marietta child support lawyer to represent you in these negotiations. We focus on what you’re entitled to, and don’t lose sight of that.
Our attorneys can help with all your child support needs, starting with determining whether you owe child support. We can establish paternity, the first step in the process. If you are seeking child support, then we can petition the court for the appropriate amount and request back pay for support you should have received. Once we have an initial support order, our lawyers can help ensure it’s enforced. If the child’s other parent doesn’t pay support, we ask the court to take measures, such as wage garnishment, to ensure you have the money you need to care for your child. Or if your situation has changed, we can petition the court to modify an existing order, such as when one parent’s financial situation has significantly shifted. Our legal team is prepared to take every appropriate measure to help you and your family.
