Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

I am in the middle of a divorce. I have joint physical custody and the only way to get my husband to sign the papers was to tell him I would wave all right to child support. I really don't care if I get it but I feel that it is his right to help support the kids. I will have them all the time except for the 2 weekends he gets them. Will the judge make him pay child support although I have put in the papers that I don't want it? I just want a divorce. If I put that I wave rights to child support does that mean that I would never be able to sue him for more or just for child support?

If you don't already an attorney, get one. It is impossible to give you the advice you need in this type of forum.

I agree with Mr. Field, you need an attorney to advise you on child support.

Remember, the court looks to the best interest of the children when it comes to custody and child support. When there is an agreement that does not comply with this general tenet, the court may in fact order support. Moreover, the child support award is not permanent. In other words, it can always be modified based on the income of the parents and the addition of new children.
