Georgia GA Child Support Calculator And Online Resources

GA child support laws changed in January 2007 when it replaces its child support guidelines based on percentage of obligor's income (which fails to take into account the custodial parent's income), with more popular Income Shares Model. Under this new model for computing Georgia child support, many support amounts will change.

Georgia GA child support laws mandate that the child support obligation continues until child support modifications are formalized by a formal order of the court.

The parties cannot agree to change it without court intervention and it will not change or terminate when a child goes to live with the other parent.

It is also noteworthy that there is no statute of limitation on the collection of (arrears) past due GA child support and interest will be added at the statutory rate from the time each payment becomes due.

Child support guidelines in any state are not written in stone. Whether you are a noncustodial or custodial parent you have the right to ask the court to make an award that differs from the presumptive amount if your case has evidence that supports your claim.

Child support payments may be modified whenever there is a substantial change in income or the financial circumstances of either party, or the needs of the children.

An action to modify child support payments may be filed by either party at any time after the divorce or initial final order of support. Another modification action may not be filed by the same party until 2 years have passed from the previous final order on modification.
