If you are facing a child support issue in Mulberry or Gwinnett County, the worry often runs in two directions. What if the amount is not enough to cover what my child needs? What if I am ordered to pay more than I can sustain? What if the financial information being used does not reflect reality? These are not selfish questions. A sound result starts with a clear picture of income, expenses, parenting responsibilities, and the child's needs.

From our Lawrenceville office, Daniels & Taylor, P.C. serves families throughout Mulberry and Gwinnett County.

What most people pay for a case evaluation to learn

Georgia’s 2026 change can lower your child support number. Since January 1, 2026, the formula includes a mandatory parenting-time adjustment: a paying parent’s share is reduced to reflect their court-ordered parenting time, and in some cases can drop to zero. What this means for you: the overnights written into your court order directly affect the number, so it is worth having us recalculate. (O.C.G.A. 19-6-15(g))
Georgia uses an Income Shares model. What this means for you: The calculation is based on both parents' combined income, not just the paying parent's. (O.C.G.A. 19-6-15)
Health-insurance premiums and work-related child care are built in. What this means for you: These costs are part of the support calculation, not separate afterthoughts. (O.C.G.A. 19-6-15(h))
Support can be revisited. What this means for you: Either parent can seek a change when there is a substantial change in income or in the child's needs. (O.C.G.A. 19-6-15(k)(1))

How child support is calculated in Georgia

Georgia uses an Income Shares model based on both parents’ combined income, not just the paying parent’s (O.C.G.A. 19-6-15). The child’s health-insurance premium and work-related child care are built into the calculation (O.C.G.A. 19-6-15(h)), and the guideline amount can be adjusted for specific circumstances. What this means for you: accurate income and expense figures drive the number, so the quality of the information matters.

Changing support later

Either parent can ask to change support when there is a substantial change in income or in the child’s needs (O.C.G.A. 19-6-15(k)). We handle support cases for Mulberry and Gwinnett families.

The questions that may be keeping you up

Child support can feel personal because it affects both your child and your ability to manage daily life. We keep the discussion grounded in reliable information and practical consequences.

What if the support amount does not reflect our real finances?

The quality of the information matters. Income, insurance, child care, and other relevant circumstances need to be identified and supported. We help you gather the right records, spot gaps, and understand how the figures connect to the proposed amount.

What if I cannot afford the amount being requested?

Ignoring the issue usually makes it harder. We can review the financial picture with you, identify what is accurate or disputed, and help you respond through the proper process. The goal is a position based on evidence, not fear.

What if the amount will not be enough for my child?

You deserve to understand how the proposed number was reached and whether important needs or expenses were left out. We help you organize the facts and raise the right questions before an agreement or order becomes part of daily life.

Is hiring a lawyer worth the cost for a support issue?

Support decisions can affect a family month after month. Early advice may help you avoid incomplete disclosures, unsupported assumptions, or an agreement you did not fully understand. A case evaluation can clarify whether legal representation is likely to add meaningful value in your situation.
