How does the court determine child Support in georgia?

Child support laws have evolved over the years and have become more dependent on specific family situations. In Georgia, we use an income shares model that utilizes the income of both parents in arriving at the amount of child support. Child support worksheets are completed in each case and will provide a calculation of child support.  In addition to the income of each party, the following factors may also be considered: 

  • Health insurance for the child
  • Child care costs
  • Travel expenses involved in visitation
  • Mortgage payments
  • Medical expenses
  • Extra-curricular activities for the child
  • Other extraordinary expenses
