The Truth As It Relates To » Employment Law Relocation Rights
Who is the best child support attorney to assist in a difficult child support case in the United States?
The situation is that I work overseas as a government contractor. I am paid from hazard pay, relocation, base pay which changes when I go on vacation to a lesser amount. My net income is $50,000 a year.
I started the case in the courts against my daughter mother but had to return to the middle-east for work. I gave my attorney rights to represent me to get my ligitimation and visitation rights. I paid $350 support voluntary for my daughtter without being ordered by a judge or court. Last, was for the judge to calculate the child support which he stated he followed the formula for Georgia. He ordered me to pay $1230 monthly for whatever time employed overseas. I am not permanent, just a contractor which employment can end any day. I did the hearing on the phone with the courts. Can this case be appealed if I get a great attorney who knows the law and US civilians working international?
Many states have moved to the use of formulas based on income. When your income changes, you would go back to the Court. You could ask for an agreement that specifies the amount to be paid from your income if it varies monthly without going to Court each time your income changes, but keep in mind that no agreement that is contrary to your daughter's interests will ever be legally binding (I mean that no agreement that will give her less than she is enitled to under the formula can be binding).
The overseas employment shouldn't matter. You need to check with your lawyer or another lawyer to explain the Georgia formula to you, so you understand this baseline and make sure that they aren't adding something into your income incorrectly. The law defines what is income.
Any order can be reopened if the formula wasn't applied correctly, but it would surprise me if the Judge, your attorney and your ex's attorney all made a mistake.
