Georgia Child Support Visitations Rights
With the agreement of the custodial parent, a non-custodial parent is allowed to visit their children at any time. If both parents are unable to reach any visitation agreements, the court will issue the standard schedule. Georgia child support visitations are every other weekend, one to two months in the summer, and alternating holidays.
Wage Garnishments
Most non-custodial parents have too many bills they have to pay. Rushing off to pay the rent/mortgage, electricity, phone, etc. can become a workout. To have child support payments in addition to those bills can be an inconvenience.
The Georgia state law allows the support payments to be garnished from a non-custodial parent’s paycheck. By allowing the wages to be garnished, the non-custodial parents will have record of all payments that have been made.
GA Child Support Medical Insurance
According to the media, a large number of Americans suffer without medical insurance. Medical insurance plays a major role in the U.S. by providing Americans with the benefits of medical treatment. It is very critical for parents to make sure their children are covered with such benefits. When parents separate, the GA child support law requires that one of the parents provide medical insurance for the children. If the non-custodial parent is able to purchase medical insurance at a affordable rate, then the court will order that parent to provide coverage for the children.
