Child support is the amount
of money the court orders one parent to pay the other parent
every month to support the child or children. Georgia has a
formula for figuring out how much child support should be paid
in all cases. Georgia child support guidelines are based on
numerous factors, including the amount of time each parent
spends caring for the child, each parent's income, the needs
of the child and other issues. While the guidelines are precise,
there are many factors that can affect the ultimate amount
of support.
Promoting both client interests and the interests of the children,
the lawyers at The Stadler Law Group combine
a broad understanding of the Georgia family law code with an
empathetic approach to working with our clients that accounts
for both the legal and emotional components of the case.
At the Stadler Law Group, our Child Support
Lawyers have handled hundreds of enforcement actions, contempt
actions, and have negotiated and litigated on behalf of parties
seeking back support judgments, as well as those defending
against such actions.
Child support payments are usually made until children turn
18 or 19 if they are still in high school full time, living
at home and can't support themselves. Parents may agree to
support a child longer. The court may also order that both
parents continue to support a disabled adult child that is
not self-supporting.
Understanding the nuances of how child support is calculated
in Georgia can often help either the payor or the payee benefit
from child support litigation. At the Stadler Law Group, we educate our clients in order to make the child
and spousal support laws work for them. If you need to establish
a support order, enforce an order, or if you have been served,
