Child Support
Guidelines to Pursuing Child Support
Child support is court-ordered support paid by one parent to the other for the support of the children. In the State of Georgia, child support law has gone through significant changes. The Georgia legislature enacted revised child support guidelines in 2007. Over the past several years, the Georgia Supreme Court and Georgia Court of Appeals have issued many legal opinions on the issue of child support. It is extremely important for you to hire a divorce attorney who is familiar with the Georgia child support guidelines and who stays current on the law regarding support.

There are now numerous factors used to determine child support that are entered into a Child Support Worksheet. These factors include: the income of the parties, the cost of medical insurance, daycare, extracurricular activities, and summer camps, whether either parent is supporting another child, and the number of children being supported.
