Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.

a. Our firm recently pursued a fatal car accident claim for a family where the police report put their husband/father at fault for the collision.

Through our personal attention and dedication not only did we successfully settle the case but helped the family during a very difficult time in their life. b.

Strategies to Reduce Child Support Payments
The article outlines the legal framework for child custody and child support in Georgia, emphasizing the best interests of the child while recognizing parents' financial realities. It explains the types of custody—legal and physical—and the factors courts consider when awarding custody. It also describes how child support is calculated using the income shares model, which considers both parents' incomes, adjustments for costs, and parenting time. To reduce child support payments, the article suggests filing a petition for modification, increasing parenting time, documenting financial hardships, negotiating with the other parent, and consulting a family law attorney. It also highlights key legal considerations, such as avoiding arrears and complying with existing court orders. The conclusion emphasizes pursuing modifications responsibly and through legal channels while prioritizing the child's welfare.
