FAQ
Child support is never deductible and isn't considered income. Additionally, if a divorce or separation instrument provides for alimony and child support, and the payer spouse pays less than the total required, the payments apply to child support first. Only the remaining amount is considered alimony.
Parenting time adjustment: The law now includes a mandatory adjustment based on the amount of time children spend with each parent. This change aims to ensure that child support payments are fairer and account for the actual time each parent spends caring for the children.
Based on the incomes of the parties and their individual percentage of the total parental income, the obligations of each parent are calculated. For example, if the total gross income for both parents is $10,000 per month, the presumptive support amount is $1,259 per month for one child.
If one spouse can prove that marital misconduct, such as infidelity, led to the marriage's breakdown, the court may deny alimony. However, it's essential to understand that both spouses' conduct will be examined, and the court seeks to ensure a fair outcome for both parties.
Misconduct: Certain behaviors can also lead to the disqualification of alimony. For instance, if a spouse is found to have engaged in financial misconduct, such as hiding assets or failing to disclose financial information during the divorce proceedings, this can result in disqualification.
The person asking for alimony must show the court that he or she needs financial support, and that the other spouse has the ability to provide financial support.
Alimony in Georgia is not a guaranteed part of the your divorce. Circumstances such as adultery or abandonment nullify the spouses rights to request spousal support. Typically spousal support is awarded for a spouse ending a long term marriage (10+ years) where one spouse has minimal income earning potential.
California determines alimony based on the recipient's “marital standard of living,” which aims to allow the spouse to continue living in a similar manner as during the marriage.
