Augusta Child Support Lawyer – Georgia Laws
Most states consider at least some of these other factors in calculating child support:
• child support or alimony either parent receives from a previous marriage
• whether either parent is paying child support or alimony from a previous marriage
• whether either parent is responsible for children from a previous (or subsequent) marriage
• which parent is paying for health insurance, and the cost
• which parent is paying day care costs, and the cost
• whether either parent is required to pay union dues or has other amounts deducted from paychecks
• ages of the children
• whether either parent receives irregular income such as bonuses or incentive pay, or expects severance pay or other lump-sum payments, and
• whether either parent lives with a new partner or spouse who contributes to household expenses.
If one parent is the custodial parent, then the other parent almost always is required to pay child support. The reasoning is that both parents are responsible for supporting the kids, and if the kids live with one parent most of the time, chances are that custodial parent will need some help paying for the housing, food, clothing, and everything else the kids need. There are official child support guidelines set out in the statute that are to be followed in all cases in which the parents are not able to reach an agreement.
