Georgia Child Support Guidelines: Deviation Strategies

This manual covers key topics in applying child support cases in Georgia. It blends application of statutes, appellate opinions, using economic data, designing economic exhibits, and practical tips on making the daily routine on procedure and case management easier. The focus is on applications in Georgia, but this work draws on national studies and helpful appellate opinion from other states. Chapters include a variety of topics—basics on the framework of Georgia’s “Income Shares” child support guidelines, deviation procedure and strategies (broad based concepts and individual deviation factors), special topics—legal/economic issues and daily routines for case work. R. Mark Rogers is an economist and expert witness specializing in child support and personal injury cases. For more information and to contact Mr. Rogers, visit RogersEconomics.com Read more
