Dalton, GA asked in Child Custody for Georgia

Q: If primary custodian doesnt keep kids for 2weeksand instead they stayed with me and my family Do I still pay child supp?

The primary custodian is the children’s mother. She has not kept them in two weeks I pay my child support every two weeks. They have been staying with me and my family during these two weeks they have been to her house two days and I’m being generous. Do I still need to pay child support even tho I’ve been supporting them and giving my family funds to support my kids. My son even said today, “I want to spend time with my mom” and she was supposed to have them all week...

A: Yes. You must continue to pay the child support until there is a court order saying otherwise.

filing for a modification of child support may be something you want to consider. Contact me at 770-723-7211 and we can discuss your options.
