Whether you are contemplating a request to modify your Georgia child support payment award or will be entering into an order for the first time as part of your impending divorce, the family law attorneys at Panessa & Associates, LLC have the legal, financial, and analytic skills to help you through the maze of the new Georgia Child Support guidelines.

The Georgia Child Support Guidelines were designed to make child support payment obligations in Georgia be more fair to a non-custodial parent. While the basic premise is simple in calculating Georgia child support payment awards in that the new child support payment strategy is driven by focusing on what is the pro rata share of each parent's income, nothing is ever simple--especially when it comes to divorce, child custody, child support, and the law.

There are many factors when evaluating the Georgia Child Support Guidelines that will cause a presumptive child support award amount to vary such as having a self-employed parent, extraordinary medical and/or educational expenses, extremely high income, an atypical child custody agreement, health insurance, child care expenses, etc . . . that should be considered.

While the amount of money at play may seem trivial in a child support payment award when one thinks that he/she may only be looking at a variance of $200.00 per month, that amount can add up in to the tens of thousands of dollars over time--money that you could be saving tax-free for your child's education--instead of paying taxes today and hoping that the custodial parent makes the proper use of the child support payment award.
