Modificación de la manutención infantil en Georgia

Explicación Simple

Si un padre quiere cambiar la cantidad de dinero que debe pagar para cuidar a sus hijos, tiene que demostrar que las cosas han cambiado de verdad. No basta con decir que ahora tiene más dinero; debe mostrar que las necesidades de los niños también han cambiado.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan paga $1,000 al mes para mantener a sus dos hijos. Después de un tiempo, Juan quiere bajar el pago porque dice que ahora gana menos. Pero, cuando va al juez, no puede demostrar que sus hijos necesitan menos apoyo o que su situación realmente ha cambiado, por lo que el juez decide que debe seguir pagando lo mismo.
