MAJOR CHANGES IN CHILD SUPPORT WILL TAKE EFFECT IN GEORGIA ON JULY 1, 2026!

Mandatory Low-Income Adjustment

Courts will no longer have the option to apply a deviation for low-income parents. It will be required, helping ensure support amounts are fair and realistic.

Required Parenting Time Adjustment

The amount of time each parent spends with the child will directly impact the final support amount, moving away from the current discretionary model.

VA Disability Offsets

When a child receives VA benefits due to a parent's disability, that amount will now be considered a part of the support calculation, possibly reducing the noncustodial parent's payment obligation.

SEPTEMBER IS NATIONAL KINSHIP CARE MONTH!

What is Kinship Care?

Definition: Kinship care involves children being placed with relatives or other close family members (fictive kin) when their parents are unable to care for them, according to the Child Welfare Information Gateway.

Purpose: It helps keep families together, minimizes the trauma children may experience in foster care, and supports family reunification efforts.

Types: Kinship care can be informal, where children live with relatives without agency involvement, or formal, where children are in the legal custody of a child welfare agency and are placed with a relative caregiver.
