Legal Answers
498 Questions Answered
- Q. Is my husband required to support us during legal separation in Georgia?
- A: The only way you can make your spouse pay any of your household expenses or any expenses for that matter is for you to obtain a court order. In order to obtain that order you have to file for divorce and have your spouse properly served. Then you can ask the court to hear any temporary matters that need to be addressed prior to trial.
- Q. Can stepfather adopt child if biological father has no contact and no support?
- A: In order for the stepfather to adopt your child you would need to go through the proper steps to terminate the biological father's parental rights. Only then can the stepfather adopt, unless the biological father voluntarily terminates.
- Q. What is my child support obligation in Georgia with my income and spouse's income?
- A: No one can calculate what your child support might be without breaking out the child support calculator. And even then, they don't know what deviations you might qualify for, which have to be entered, in order for the final gross monthly child support obligation to be correct. If you're going through a divorce, I would suggest you hire an attorney. They can gather all the proper discovery and calculate child support.
