In Mississippi, your child support for one child will be about 14% of your gross income according to state law passed in 1972. You don't necessarily need a lawyer if you want to retain custody of your son. You will go to a custody hearing to set up a fromal custody agreement and the judge will determine the best solution for your son. If you believe he would be better moving with you, you can certainly tell the judge why. Most of these situations are subjective because every situation is different. Good luck!

Well regardless of where you live if you give your spouce custody then you will be as responiable to pay child support just as he would if you had the custody. You can ask for joint custody and get your child for the summers,being that your moving so far away. Child support is based on your incom usally 25% of your incom before taxes.

Ah yes, the evil exhusband... I went through this myself with my ex... They should base it on your income... and try to get SHARED PARENTING! i now have custody of my son, i didn't then, so with shared parenting, neither of us have to pay support ever.. it sucks now, i want him to pay, but because it's shared, he doesn't have to and the other way around. This also is good because the farthest you will have to travel to pick up or drop off is half way!

I would think you would have your son and he would pay support unless there are other reasons you are leaving him in GA
