My daughter has been divorced from her ex for a couple of years. Both have moved on with their lives: he has moved his girlfriend into his house, and my daughter got married this weekend.
We expected this might cause him to try to adjust his child support requirements. He stated (in a text message) that, her re-marriage "changes child support.... I would like to look into a savings for the girls...."
He has been paying child support directly to my daughter for the support of their children and, only the prospect of jail time has kept the payments on time. We suspect that his intention is to re-direct some of the money that he has been paying directly to the mother of his children, for the children's benefit, into an account with his name on the account. My daughter did not request alimony, so there is no alimony payment. The child support agreement states he will pay the agreed-upon child support until the children are age 18, and have graduated from high school. And the child support he pays (with mom's agreement) is considerably less than the amount specified by the State of Georgia's computation formula.
To Recap: In the State of Georgia, does a new marriage change the amount of child support in any way? And, can he re-direct any of the existing child support into a savings account for the children with only his name on it, without their mother's consent?
