Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia
Child support is being paid in the amount of [x] dollars which is specified in the "Child Support Addendum" under the "Child Support Amount" clause. The clause states a beginning date to start child support and states it to be paid "per month". Under the "Duration of Child Support" a subsection extends the child support beyond the age of 18 until the child graduates from a secondary school or reaches 23 yrs. old. However, in the Settlement Agreement, there is a paragraph under "Child Custody, Visitation, College Expenses", the states, "Starting Aug. 1, 2010, Husband shall be responsible for providing Wife with the following amounts to be used for [childs name] living expenses in the amount of [y] dollars (different dollar amount than what is in the Child Support Amount clause).
Question 1: If the child turns 18 in the month of August which amount is due [x] or [y]?
Question 2: If [x] amount is due, is the total amount due since the child turns 18 in early August?
