Georgia child support is a court-ordered monetary payment from a parent to a custodial parent to support a minor child. Child support is paid by the parent who has a duty to support the child. Child support is determined based on the parents' incomes and the number of children being supported. Parents can agree to child support, or the court can set child support based on state child support guidelines. If parents can agree on the amount, they can ask the court to approve the agreement. If they cannot agree, the court will set the amount based on the guidelines.
The amount of child support depends on state guidelines and the needs of the child.
When calculating child support, the court will use the Georgia child support guidelines to determine how much support must be paid. The guidelines are based on the parents' incomes and the number of children being supported. Parents can agree to child support, or the court can set child support based on state child support guidelines. If parents can agree on the amount, they can ask the court to approve the agreement. If they cannot agree, the court will set the amount based on the guidelines.
Regular child support is for basic needs, such as food and clothing. Supplemental support is for extra costs, such as private school tuition or extracurricular activities. Is Child Support Taxable? Yes, child support is taxable income. However, if you do not receive your child support check directly from the other parent, you do not have to include it as income on your tax return.
