Georgia Divorce Child Support and Modifications Explained

In Georgia, child support is determined based on child support worksheets that were adopted by the Georgia legislature. And it takes into account the income of both of the parties and the expenses of the children along with who has primary custody and who has secondary custody. Once child support has been established in Georgia, you can modify it. And that happens when either the person paying the child support has a change in their income, either up or down, or the needs of the children have changed, normally to be greater needs, or if the income of the recipient party has gone up or down. If you can show a change in financial circumstances here in Georgia, you can modify child support.
