What is the percentage per child in the state of Ga? If I have full custody?

Are you not wanting the children?  My exhusband spends no time with his children and well as upset as I was about before I am no longer upset.  Full custody... physical custody or sole custody?  I would go ahead and sue for sole custody removing him of rights to the child so it is no longer sparatic and emotionally draining or damaging to the child's self esteem and well being.

Yep, go back to court and seek a custody modification granting you sole physical and joint legal custody... You probably won't win, but it will bring the problem to the attention of the courts and a judge will explain to him that visitation is not "His privilege" it is his duty and the children's right....and lays a groundwork for future modification if he does not straighten up.\nGood luck.

You really need to talk to a lawyer before you make up your mind fully, but here is the gist of what you want to know.  Full custody means she lives with you 24/7, but can visit her Dad. Joint means you share custody....at your house half, his house half time. Sole custody means you have her 24/7 and don't share custody or visits with dad. Hope this helps, but really, talk to a lawyer.

I would certainly try to get full custody in that situation, but the courts might not think it warrants taking the child away from their father and merely tell him not to let them be alone with their grandfather. Also, I would look into getting a restraining order on their grandfather.

Well, as a guy paying 1500 per month in child support for one child, I TOO see both sides of it. I agreed to pay this amount, and was not required to pay it. One of the other responders is correct, it varies from state to state, but runs about 20% of your pay. the fact is, I am more qualified, and financially responsible to raise my child. I have more energy, time, and general resources than my Ex-wife, but do you think I could EVER win custody, even though I am truly more qualified? No, never, not in a million years can a man win.. So for the average man, it is a lose/lose situation.. We lose a large percentage of our pay, and we lose much of our time with our child.. My lawyer said in the state of Texas, a woman has to have murdered someone to lose their child, and he claims there has not heard of a single case where the father was given custody without VERY extenuating circumstances. \n\nTo the person who said "they should have thought about that before they had kids".. Don't be an idiot. You must be 12 years old...

I don't know where you live but in GA they will go after any father who doesn't pay.  It is called ABANDONMENT and is illegal.  Look in the phone book under the county that you live and see if there is a number for the main county switchboard and ask them who you should be talking to.  As last resort, you could call an attorney and press charges for non payment of child support and abandonment.  Or hell, go file a small claims case against him.  At least you could get something from them.  Also, it would go on his credit and it would be judgment against him throught the court, so if he didn't pay, then a bench warrant would be issued.  I am a child of a father that didn't pay and spend any time with me, so I know how that feels but don't put up posters or fliers, because you child will see that and its not fair to the child.  Be the good parent.

First, you need to consult an attorney in the field of family law.  Secondly, most states have a guideline that they go by using how much income both you & the child's father bring in.  They take a certain percentage of each, consider how much bills you each have & expenses that are required to take care of the children & they go from there.  My husband's ex-wife got $341. per month for one child.  She makes a little over $22. per hour as a resp. therpist.  He makes a little over $17.50 per hour as a govt. employee.  So, go figure.  As an ex-wife myself... its never enough.  As a wife of one with an ex-wife... its too much!  Just see an attorney or go online to your states' website & type in child support guildlines.  That might help you.  It might give you a rough estimate anyway.  Hope this helps & good luck!

It's around 7%, depending on the country or city.  4.5% from the state and another 2.5% from the city.  In some places, it's up to 8%, such as in Dare country.

In our county in Georgia, there are many home school "groups" organized between parents who home school their children.  There is one organized by Christian parents in our town, one in the county to the north.  My wife and I involve ourselves with the latter.  \n\nI know there are web sites to help you with this.  You may wish to get information on what standards are kept by the government and private schools, so that you can better gauge your children's progress.  We can ge this from our county board of education, from the state and federal departments of education.

Joint physical custody is a nightmare! Don't make your kid's shuffle between houses more than they have too. Finances should always take a back seat to their welfare.

your state must not have a scale that is used based on her income and your income. dont go to jail. go to court. have the younger son talk to the judge alone in chambers. it can make all the difference. your attorney can set it up with out her knowing until the last minute. fight for your kids. hope your older son gets better soon.

In Texas, the judge takes into account the child's wishes starting at age 10. By 17, the child can be emancipated.\n\nOk, I just saw that you said you live in Georgia. Here is a link to a helpful website I just found. About half-way down this page, it says the age is 14 in Georgia for taking a child's wishes into consideration.  Hope this helps and good wishes and God Bless you:\n\nhttp://www.divorcenet.com/states/georgia/gaart_04

Georgia law provides that any adult person 25 years of age or older, or an adult couple married and living together, may adopt a child who is more than ten years younger than both adoptive parents.  Each adoptive parent must be a resident of the state of Georgia and must prove he or she is financially, mentally, and physically able to have permanent custody of a child.\n\nFor adoptions of a international child, the country of origin often has restrictions for the adoption.  The restrictions can involve your marital status, sexual orientation, number of children currently in your household, MAXIMUM age, etc.  Usually there isn't a specific minimum age.\n\nIf you are serious about adoption, you should contact a local adoption agency who can best answer to your specific situation.

Judge desides a percentage of your income, pretax.  Each mother will sue for it separately.  So one could get 15% and the other 18%.  Usually judges have a preset number they hit every normal male with (ones that don't cheat, do drugs, blah blah) so if you get the same judge, it will be the same percentage.  So you can expect around 30% gone, before the government gets it's share.

Under the laws that were established at the time the guidlines were set up - Yes. However, you may want to get an attorney and have your situation looked at again. If your children are with you a little less than half of the time than you shouldn't have to pay her but for the 5% of the difference. It may pay in the long run to hire an attorney.
