Metropolitan Atlanta Child Support Lawyer

An important area of family law that may cause turmoil in divorce proceedings is child support. Who will pay whom, how much will be paid, when will payment be made, and for how long? The law firm of Deborah M. Lubin, P.C. provides clients in the Atlanta metro area with legal support designed to help reduce child support conflicts while arriving at a successful resolution.

Our attorney's background allows the firm stay on top of changes in divorce law. We can help you clearly understand the law, including changes dictating how child support will be determined in the State of Georgia. Currently, both parents are expected by law to bear a portion of the financial responsibility for their children following a divorce.

Extra Expenses to Consider

While child support is determined, taking into account the income of both parents, in addition to basic child support expenses, extracurricular expenses may also be considered in determining how much child support is actually awarded. Such expenses might include:

• Health insurance coverage
• Child care expenses
• Private school costs
• Summer camp expenses
• Music lessons
• Sports-related activities
• Dance classes
• Travel expenses related to visitation

Generally speaking, child support is paid by the non-custodial parent, or a secondary custodial parent, to the other parent. In the event modifications become necessary, it's important for parents to understand that any changes must be formalized by the court, regardless of any personal agreements between the parties.

Child support can raise custody and visitation issues, and impact other considerations in a divorce, whether it's a conventional divorce or an agreement reached through the application of Collaborative Law.
