Explanation

1. Combined Monthly Income: This table assumes the combined monthly income of both parents, which includes net income after deductions.
2. Obligations by Number of Children:
   • Georgia’s child support guidelines recommend specific support obligations based on the number of children.
   • For more than five children, additional support may be required, and specific court rulings could apply.
3. Calculation Basis:
   • In shared custody, each parent's share is based on their proportion of the combined income. For instance, if Parent 1 earns $3,000 and Parent 2 earns $2,000 (total $5,000), Parent 1's share of the obligation for one child would be 60% of the $1,000 child support obligation, or $600.

This table provides general estimates, but individual cases may vary based on adjustments, including health insurance, education, and special needs.
