January 1, 2026 Update: Major Guideline Changes

Effective January 1, 2026, Georgia child support guidelines were significantly updated. Mandatory parenting time adjustments (no longer optional), new low-income adjustments, expanded income table to $40,000/month, and updated Basic Child Support Obligation table. Juno reflects all 2026 changes.

2026 Guideline Changes Summary

Mandatory Parenting Time Adjustment

Previously optional, parenting time adjustments are now mandatory in all Georgia child support calculations. Calculated using the mathematical formula (days^2.5) to determine the adjustment percentage.

Low-Income Adjustment (New)

New provisions provide relief for low-income parents, ensuring guidelines do not impose impossible financial burdens on parents earning below specified thresholds.

Expanded Income Table

The income table for calculating child support has been expanded from $30,000/month to $40,000/month, providing guidance for higher-income parents.

Updated Obligation Table

The Basic Child Support Obligation table has been updated to reflect current economic conditions and child-rearing costs in Georgia.

How Georgia Calculates Child Support

Georgia's Income Shares Model combines both parents' income with parenting time adjustments for equitable support calculations

Combined Gross Income

Add together both parents' gross income from all sources: wages, salary, self-employment, bonuses, commissions, retirement income, investment returns, and other regular income.

Deductions

Subtract allowable deductions: federal/state income taxes, FICA, health insurance for the child, court-ordered child support for other children, and other mandated payments.

Basic Obligation Lookup

Use the updated 2026 Basic Child Support Obligation table to find the base support amount based on combined net income and number of children.

Parenting Time Adjustment

Apply the mandatory parenting time adjustment using the formula (days^2.5) to modify the base obligation based on each parent's overnight percentage.

Income Share Allocation

Divide the adjusted obligation between parents based on their proportional share of combined net income.

Add-On Expenses

Add proportional allocations of health insurance, childcare, and extraordinary medical expenses to the base support amount.
