23.575 Extraordinary Expense; Generally

23.575 Extraordinary Expense; Generally The presumptive amount of child support that I have provided to you is based upon average child-rearing expenditures for families given the parents' combined adjusted income and the number of children. Georgia law allows you to deviate from this amount in recognition of extraordinary expenses. Extraordinary expenses are expenses in excess of average amounts used to arrive at the presumptive child support amount and are highly variable among families. Extraordinary expenses shall be considered on a case-bycase basis in the calculation of support and may form the basis for deviation from the presumptive amount of child support so that the actual amount of the expense is considered in the calculation of the final child support order for those families actually incurring the expense. Extraordinary expenses shall be prorated between the parents. There are several instances in which you may find that an extraordinary expense occurs or applies.
