Under the child support guidelines in Georgia the child support work sheet considers other children being supported by either party, work related day care expense, health/dental insurance expense among other considerations.

Self employment income is a hotly debated issue. You can challenge his income through discovery by requesting his banking records etc. Does his lifestyle exceed his reported income? Look for records showing he is spending more than his reported net income.
