Alimony in Macon Georgia

Georgia utilizes the percentage of income formula which determines the amount of child support as a percentage of the income of the parent obligated to pay the child support. This percentage is determined by factoring the number of children requiring support. This is the most basic or primitive method for calculating support. Many people believe that it does not take into consideration many important details, which makes this model of support calculation the least exact.

Alimony in Georgia is either "rehabilitative" or "permanent". Alimony is money for support paid to a spouse by the other spouse. Under Georgia Code, any spouse may be awarded alimony as long as he or she is not guilty of desertion or adultery. These other factors are also considered when the parties are not able to agree on an amount;

1. the participation each party had to the marital estate;
2. the duration of the marriage;
3. the future earning capacity and financial resources of each party;
4. the age and medical condition of each party;
5. the future earning capacity of each party;
6. the value of each party’s separate property;
7. the standard of living sustained during the marriage;
8. rehabilitative time one party may need to gain employment.
