What is a reasonable amount of child support to pay for one child in Gerogia?

Answer 1

It's not based on the state in which you live. It's based upon the income of the parent who is ordered to pay child support, it's a percentage calculation, the higher the income the higher the support as a parent is expected to support their child in a manner to which they can afford.

For example someone with higher income is expected to pay more just as if the child were a part of there household. I have a friend who receives $1500 a month for support of one child while another friend gets $800 a month for 2 children. Why such a big difference? It's because the Fathers have very different income levels. That is why celebrities and the very wealthy often pay more for one month than most single moms receive in a year.

Answer 2

Most states it's 20% of gross pay for the first child, plus healthcare. Some states also add on daycare costs. If non-custodial parent is not working it is set by minimum wage unless the custodial parent can prove NCP is capable of earning more.

Answer 3

Child support calculated by how much time each person has child & amount of money each makes

here's a link to child support calculator:

Answer 4

every state is different (slightly) about child support guidelines, so here is a calculator. just click on your state and fill it in.

they go by how much both parents make and how many children (is on the case). its to give a general idea of how much the payments will be. if you find your CS caseworker isnt on the ball, contact your regional federal cs office.

the rest of the link are to help; just click on your state and find the section you need.

alot of factors.
