The two downloadable electronic calculators are Microsoft Excel files that include built-in formulas for calculations and printable forms.

Practitioner's Electronic Unguided Worksheet

The Web-based electronic calculators are interactive tools designed to calculate one's child support obligation under the Georgia Child Support Guidelines. Select from one of the two types of web-based worksheets, the Guided Electronic Worksheet or the Worksheet (generally referred to as the Unguided Worksheet). The Guided Worksheet asks a series of questions, (i.e., about the income of each parent and child rearing expenses) and is widely used by a self-represented person. This calculator will determine the child support obligation based on the answers given. The Unguided Worksheet version is far less instructive than the Guided Worksheet, but also provides a calculation for the obligation. This version is widely used by judges, attorneys and mediators. (This version has several overwrite features, especially regarding discretionary issues, that are available to judges only. Judges will need an individualized User Identification Number and password to sign onto this version. Once signed in, the court can pull up the parties submitted electronic worksheet and schedules by the Civil Action Number or unique Confirmation Number.) Once all of the questions are answered or information is entered, one can print out a completely filled out worksheet that is ready to submit to the court. After the case has been filed with the Clerk, you will have the option to submit the worksheet electronically and directly to the judge. The civil action case number must be included or the worksheet cannot be transmitted to the judge. Be sure to type the number exactly as it was written and assigned by the Clerk. Also, do not forget to print out copies of your completed worksheet before submitting it to the court. Once the web-based worksheet has been submitted to the court, you can no longer access it.
