Child Support in Chatham Hill GA
Under Georgia law both parents are required to support their children until a child reaches the age of twenty, dies, graduates from high school, marries, is emancipated, or joins the military, whichever event happens earlier. The non-custodial parent must pay a reasonable amount of child support to the custodial parent for the childs living expenses. Child support, in addition to a monthly or weekly sum, can also include payments as health insurance and payment of medical and dental expenses.
From January 1, 2007, the guidelines for determining child support based on a new “income shares” model which will take into account the income of both the custodial parent and the non-custodial parent became effective. The child support rules are a minimum basis for deciding the amount of child support and will apply as a rebuttable presumption in all court proceedings involving the child support responsibility of a parent.
The Court will not direct parents to pay for college. But, parents may agree to pay child support beyond the age of 18 or to pay for college expenses.
