Low-Income Deviation Study
The Georgia Child Support Commission (“Commission”), Chair, R. Michael Key, Juvenile Court Judge, Coweta Judicial Circuit, has authorized a study committee for the purpose of reviewing the current Low-Income Deviation in the child support guidelines statute, O.C.G.A. § 19-6-15. Superior Court Judge Emory Palmer, Commission member, serves as the Chair of the study committee. The purpose and goal of the study is to determine if Georgia’s current structure of the low-income deviation is adequate for Georgia’s needs in determining the obligation of child support for parents who are considered earning a low income.
