The recent economic downturn has lead to an increase in the number of child support modifications. Non-custodial parents ("NCP's") who have lost jobs or income are increasingly turning to the courts for assistance in reducing the amount that they pay for child support. The GA child support law was changed effective 2007. If you are contemplating a modification, you should definitely seek the advice of counsel experienced in this area. It is always advisable to estimate the new support amount based upon your circumstances prior to filing suit. An experienced family law attorney can do that for you. This area of the law has gotten more complicated over the past couple of years. Make sure that you review the possible outcomes of your case with a qualified attorney before you decide to proceed with a modification.
