Child Support Calculation Under the New Child Support Guidelines

The new Georgia child support guidelines use an "income shares" model for determining the amount paid or received. This model considers the gross income of both parents and uses a child support obligation table to calculate the amount of child support. The new Georgia guidelines are significantly different from the guidelines, and include adjustments for self-employment, child support and healthcare costs paid for other children, and work-related childcare expenses. It's best to have an attorney calculate your child support, someone aware of the subtleties of the new law.
