While going through a divorce,I was attending college. The state of Georgia was paying for my classes,books and daycare.The judge place me under a 604.00 child support order even though I was currently without income.I'm trying to understand willful or voluntary underemployment as it relates to my case.I was under the impression since I was in school attempting to increase the level of my support for my daughter in the future an order should not have been placed on me.I'm perplexed and 8000.00 in the arrears?

College Students hold jobs all the time... I in fact had a job throughout college... and I had a full courseload. And the child still was incurring expenses related to its care and upbringing the other parent was bearing the full burden for..

Were you married when the child was born? Some courts look unfavorably upon men who father children and don't want to support them. GA is very tough on unwed fathers.
