how do i go about getting more child support money for my child ?

In order to get an increase in child support, you will need to file an action for modification of child support.  Once you initiate the action, both you and your child's father will be required to produce documentation that shows your current income.  Additionally, you will also be required to complete a child support worksheet.  This is a form that considers financial aspects of both parties, including but not limited to each individual party's income; and additional expenses each party pays related to the care of the child, including child-care, insurance, etc....  Once the information is included in the worksheet, the worksheet will calculate a figure that represents the amount of support that each parent is responsible for paying.  Unless your child's father can demonstrate why there is a reason to deviate from that figure, this is the amount of support that your child's father will have to pay.  You can download the child support worksheet from the Georgia Child Support Commission, I've provided the link below, and input your and your child's father's financial information to get an idea of whether his child support obligation will be increased and, if so, an approximate amount by which it will increase.  recommend speaking with an attorney about your situation so that he/she can properly advise you with how to move forward.
