Effective January 1, 2007, Georgia law regarding the calculation of child support [O.C.G.A. § 19-6-15] fundamentally changed. Calculating how much child support the non-custodial parent will be required to pay can be fairly complex. However, early in the process, it can be helpful to be able to quickly generate an estimate, for several reasons. For attorneys, this tool is designed to be used in the first meeting or consultation with a new or prospective client, or even over the phone. For parties contemplating a divorce or finding themselves in the early stages of a divorce case, this tool can be used to decide whether the child support figures proposed by your spouse are relatively reasonable or seem to be way off base. Either way, answer the following four simple questions and click "Estimate Child Support". (If you wish to refer to the Basic Child Support Obligation table, click here.)
ONCE AGAIN: please note these figures are ESTIMATES ONLY. There are a number of factors that will go into final child support calculations applicable to your case, any of which could change the amounts shown here.
| How many children do the parties have together? | |
| What is the father's gross monthly income? | |
| What is the mother's gross monthly income? | |
| Estimated Child Care and Health Insurance costs? |  |
