Ensuring That Your Children Are Supported
Although all divorces are different, the children should always be the most important consideration, and it is their best interest that the courts consider in determining child support. It is essential that the children be given the financial support that they need to have the brightest possible future, and that the support award be fair and equitable in harmonizing with what the statute prescribes for each party.
At the Law Offices of L. Tracy Teiger, P.C. we have over 20 years of experience that we use in handling child support issues that arise in divorce cases, and in helping clients seek the modification of child support awards after divorce, throughout the Atlanta, Georgia, metro area.

Determining Child Support Payments
In Georgia, like in many other states, child support awards are calculated using a statutory formula. By determining the income and the assets of the opposing party, as well as other financial factors (including the costs of health- care, child-care, special needs that the child(ren) may have and the percentage of time that the child(ren) spend with each parent), a support award is determined.
Even though child support amounts are calculated according to statutory guidelines, there are still several factors that might lead to a deviation from the presumptive amount, resulting in either an increase or decrease of the final award. Attorney L. Tracy Teiger has in-depth knowledge of Georgia's divorce and child support laws, and is here to advocate for a child support award that is in the best interests of your children and fair to you.
We have the experience to help you:
- Seek an initial child support award
- Modify an existing order
- Enforce an order if payments are not being timely made
