Child Support Lawyer in Augusta GA Evans Georgia
All parents must support their children, whether or not the parents are married. Both you and your spouse are responsible for giving your kids all the necessities of life until they become legal adults. In Georgia, child support is typically calculated by using a Child Support Worksheet. The worksheet will generate an appropriate Georgia child support obligation according to each spouse’s income and other relative numeric factors such as taxes paid and retirement contributions, etc. Once this amount is determined it is essential to take a look at any appropriate Georgia child support deviation factors that may be applicable to the situation.
The child support order may also be enforced through:
• Withholding child support from paychecks, unemployment or weekly worker's compensation benefits.
• Intercepting federal and/or state income tax refunds.
• Reporting parents owing $7,500 or more in child support payments to credit bureaus.
• Suspending or revoking driver's, professional or occupational licenses for failure to pay child support.
• Reviewing and changing child support orders periodically.
• Intercepting lottery winnings of more than $5,000.
• Filing contempt of court actions, which may result in a jail sentence if the non-custodial parent is found in contempt of court.
• Filing liens to seize matched bank accounts, lump sum worker's compensation settlements and real or personal property.
• Denying, suspending or revoking the passport of someone who owes more than $5,000 in child support.
