Liberty, TX asked in Family Law and Child Support for Georgia

Q: if My daughters father don’t like the minimum 25% can he take me to court to have it lowered ?

I requested a modification and he got a letter saying they were taking 25% of his income but he stated he was going to contest the 25% which is the minimum for one child. He stated he did not think it was fair because th amount was more than what he wanted. Would a judge lower th minimum? Could a lawyer fight the minimum?

A: This is not how child support works in Georgia. If you have an order from another state, you may want to consult with an attorney in that state to discuss your options.
