Child Support & Alimony FAQs
What You Need to Know About Child Support Obligations in Georgia
How is child support calculated in Georgia?
Georgia utilizes an income shares model, considering both parents' incomes, the number of children, and other expenses to determine support amounts. For a detailed assessment of your situation, please contact our office to schedule a consultation.
Can child support or alimony orders be modified?
Yes. If there's a significant change in circumstances, such as income fluctuations or changes in custody arrangements, you can request a modification. An attorney can help evaluate your case and guide you through the legal process.
What happens if the other party fails to pay support?
Non-compliance can lead to enforcement actions, including wage garnishments, license suspensions, and contempt of court charges. We can assist in initiating these proceedings to ensure you receive the support you're entitled to.
Is alimony guaranteed in a divorce?
No. Alimony is not automatic in Georgia and is determined based on factors like the length of the marriage, each spouse's financial resources, and contributions to the household. Consulting with an attorney can help you understand your eligibility and options.
