North Atlanta, Marietta and Roswell Child Support Modification Lawyer
Child support in Georgia is calculated using a spreadsheet. However, it's rarely as easy as plugging numbers into a formula. There are many issues that people and even some attorneys overlook.
I am Jeffrey S. Williams, an attorney who handles child support and modifications for parents in North Atlanta, including Alpharetta, Roswell, Marietta and surrounding counties. Georgia child support guidelines are complex, and the help of an experienced child support lawyer is often required to ensure that you pay or receive an appropriate amount.
The amount of child support you are required to pay or are entitled to receive is based on several factors, including:
- The incomes of both parents
- The number of children you support, including children from another marriage or relationship
- How many overnight visits you have with your child each year
- Who pays for heath care and child care
- Whether your child has special needs
- Cost of travel for visitation, if you and your spouse live far away from each other
In some cases, expert assistance is needed to determine income, especially if a spouse is self employed, hides income or receives earnings that can fluctuate such as bonuses and sales commissions.
Child support modifications: Child support can be changed after your divorce if there is a change in your circumstances that would affect the child support calculation. For example, if you lose your job or are forced to take a lower paying job, child support can be reduced. I can also help you with issues such as child support enforcement.
