Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Hi there! When child support was initially calculated, it was done incorrectly while drawing up the divorce papers. The lawyer who was incorrect admitted that it was wrong as well.

But, then that lawyer said that the wrong amount could not be legally changed because the two parties agreed to it in an email themselves before this was even known.

Does this sound correct? Can this happen? Thank you!

Sure it can. While the state has child support guidelines, the parties can agree on a different number, and, if they do, that number becomes the number if the court agrees.
