Georgia child support laws cover both the legal minimum and maximum amounts a custodial parent can seek in terms of financial support from the non-custodial parent, and actionable steps a parent can take in the event of non-payment of the court ordered funds. The state of Georgia may take the following factors into account when rendering a financial payment amount: How much each parent earns independently of one another; how many children are involved; The child custody arrangement- the percentage of time the child spends with each parent under their respective roofs. In some cases, the court may take into consideration extraordinary child expenses such as education and required medical care when determining the appropriate level of financial support which should be provided. In most cases, the child's extracurricular activities and their associated expenses are not factored into the required child support figure. However, if both parents work, the cost of child care may be considered a viable expense.
