Ensuring A Secure Financial Future For Your Child
Child support is not only an issue in divorce cases but also can arise in other family law cases such as parenting plan modifications, paternity, nonparental custody and relocation.
Attorney Williams has represented hundreds of clients with varying child support needs. She is experienced in:
- Establishing child support
- Modifying child support
- Enforcing child support obligations
The family courts are actually required to ensure that an appropriate child support arrangement is reached in all family law cases that involve children – this is to ensure that parents adequately support their own children rather than the state taxpayers. Child support cases are often complex, requiring representation from a knowledgeable attorney.
Georgia Child Support Calculator
Child support payments are calculated based on a statutory formula. To estimate child support obligations in your case, visit the Georgia Child Support Calculator provided by the Georgia Child Support Commission.
In Georgia, child support is calculated primarily by determining the net income of both parents. Determining net income is fairly simple in the case of W-2 wage earners with no additional sources of income. Determining net income can become significantly more complex when the party is unemployed, underemployed, a business owner or receives an irregular income.
To arrive at a fair child support resolution, you need a lawyer who will go to great lengths to obtain the necessary documents that accurately establish net income. The skilled attorney at The Williams Firm, P.C. has achieved countless successful case outcomes for clients, even when net income was difficult to prove.
Enforcing Child Support
When the parent charged with paying child support in Georgia fails to make these payments or make them on time, a private party or the state can file enforcement actions on a child support order. This Atlanta family law attorney has handled many enforcement and contempt actions, and has experience with back support judgments – both for parties pursuing those judgments and for parties defending against them.
Attorney Karen Brown Williams has experience with child support cases brought by the state as well as child support cases filed through the Division of Child Support.
