Forsyth, GA asked in Child Support for Georgia

Q: I filed for child support with GA in Oct. We had custody hearing in Nov.

And they're trying to make me agree to child support there within the custody. The state says I will be getting $922. My lawyer is trying to make me take a few hundred less. Does the state trump what custody mediation says?

A: This isn't a simple question that can be answered here. An attorney, in order to give you specific advice, needs to review everything that was filed here in Georgia and look at the financial circumstances of both parties in order to give you advice about the amount of child support you would be entitled to. You should consult with a family law attorney immediately.
