How Georgia Child Support Is Structured
Georgia still follows an Income Shares framework. Both parents’ financial information is gathered, the Basic Child Support Obligation is pulled from the statewide table, each parent’s pro rata share is applied, and then the worksheet accounts for add-ons plus the current adjustment rules.
- Start with monthly gross income. The statute requires each parent’s monthly gross income to be identified before any table lookup occurs.
- Adjust to the statutory income base. Georgia applies the adjustments allowed under O.C.G.A. § 19-6-15 before calculating percentage shares.
- Use the current BCSO table. The current Georgia table changed on July 1, 2024.
- Add child-related expenses. Child care and health insurance can materially change the monthly transfer amount.
- Check January 1, 2026 adjustments. Parenting-time and low-income issues now run through Georgia’s updated adjustment workflow.
Use the Official Georgia Worksheet for the Final Math
The commission’s online calculator is still the best destination when your case depends on live worksheet math, precise parenting-day counts, or a low-income adjustment question.
