FORMULA How Georgia Calculates Child Support
Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 19-6-15 governs child support. Georgia updated from a percentage model to Income Shares in 2007. The state uses published Basic Child Support Obligation tables.
AGE When Does Child Support End in Georgia?
Child support in Georgia ends when the child turns 18 — Support ends at 18 or high school graduation. Support also ends upon the child’s death, marriage or emancipation. Important: In most cases support does not stop automatically — you need a court order. Stopping payments without a court order creates arrears even after the child reaches the cutoff age.
INTEREST Arrears Interest in Georgia
Georgia charges 7% annual interest on unpaid child support arrears. There is generally no statute of limitations on child support debt.
ENFORCEMENT Georgia Child Support Enforcement
Georgia has broad enforcement powers including wage garnishment, tax refund interception, driver’s license suspension, professional license suspension, passport denial, and credit bureau reporting. Criminal charges may apply for significant or long-term non-payment.
MODIFY Modifying Child Support in Georgia
Child support can be modified in Georgia when there is a material and substantial change in circumstances — typically a significant income change, job loss, new children from another relationship, or change in custody. Most states also allow a periodic review every 3 years. File a petition with the court — private agreements to change support are not legally enforceable.
