Session Information
n/a
The Georgia Child Support Commission Staff regularly hosts 1-hour trainings to talk through the basics of the GA child support calculator and guidelines. The Georgia Office of Dispute Resolution co-hosts a few of these per year to ensure registered neutrals have access to mediator-specific guidance. You - attorneys and mediators - have been asking for an opportunity to “go deeper”, and we have heard your request! Bring your thorniest questions and present the stickiest situations regarding child support calculations, guidelines, and income deduction orders, and the Child Support Commission staff will help you navigate solutions in-real-time.
