Factors Affecting Child Support Calculation
Parental Income
Both parents’ gross incomes are considered. This includes wages, bonuses, commissions, dividends, and other sources. Georgia uses the Income Shares Model which considers both parents’ incomes to determine support.
Number of Children
Support amounts increase with more children but not proportionally. Georgia guidelines provide specific percentages based on the combined income and number of children.
Childcare and Health Insurance Costs
Work-related childcare costs and health insurance premiums for the children are added to the basic support obligation and divided between parents based on income proportion.
Custody Arrangement
Joint custody arrangements may reduce the support amount based on the number of overnights each parent has. Split custody (different children with each parent) requires separate calculations.
Special Needs
Extraordinary medical, educational, or psychological needs of children can increase support amounts beyond the basic guidelines.
Existing Support Orders
If a parent is already paying child support for other children, this may reduce the calculated amount for the current case.
