How is child support decided GA
An unfortunate truth of economic life is that a family cannot live as cheaply divided as it can together. Therefore, post divorce, the living standard of the entire] family is generally lowered and the judge usually has the unenviable task of having to divide a scarce resources. Besides, there is the issue of altering the child support order to meet changing needs of children and enforcing court orders against fathers and mothers who either do not make court ordered child support payments or who are unable to do so as a result of to circumstances beyond their control. These problems, when added to the issue of custody, visitation and the division of property in a divorce, keep the family courts burdened at all times.
Both parents have a legal duty to support their child based on their ability to do so. Most jurisdictions have child support guidelines in place, that provide a formula for calculating child support based on a proportion of each parents gross income. These guidelines are usually applied unless a party can establish that application of the guidelines would be unjust and improper in that case.
