Many states have calculators that determine the estimated amount of alimony one ex-spouse owes the other, but Georgia is not one of them. Courts will consider a variety of factors when determining alimony, such as:

Length of your marriage;
Financial means of you and your spouse;
Annual income of you and your spouse; and
Standard of living you and your spouse are accustomed to.
Court-ordered alimony may be temporary or permanent; additionally, it may be paid periodically or in one lump sum. It is never guaranteed, though, at the end of the day the court is looking to determine one spouse’s need and the other’s ability to pay.

Having an experienced family attorney by your side will help you secure the alimony amount that works for your financial situation. Contact Hovastak Law Office for
assistance with your alimony questions.

Under Georgia law, the child’s mother has all legal custody rights when the parents are unmarried. This means that even when the father goes through all of the steps to confirm paternity and the court orders him to pay child support, he does not have any legal rights to visitation or custody.

To gain visitation rights, the father must go through an additional process by filing a legitimation action in court. Through this process, he can request custody or visitation with his child.

Hovastak Law Office has the experience and resources to help you navigate the child support process in Georgia.
