Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

If you can now use these things to lower the child support, you should pursue that. Other sources of support for a child, or expenses you pay for the benefit of the child are factors in determining the amount of support. The one thing you may run into is that a modification of support needs to be based on a change of circumstances. If the attorney on the other side knows that these things existed when child support was originally set, they can argue that there has been no actual change from last time warranting a modification of support, even though the numbers in the last case were not complete. It may depend on the Judge as to whether or not they would buy that argument, especially since you were unrepresented in the last case and did not know to add them. It sounds like your current lawyer knows what they are doing, so you should make sure to give them what information you have and let them see what they can do for you.

Really believe it is unethical to provide legal advice to you when you have an attorney. I am concerned you do not trust your attorney and feel it necessary to seek legal advice on a website.
