CS modification in GA

CP and NCP in GA, original orders set there.

NCP pays 25% of gross wages on 2 children.

NCP begins new job in 2 weeks with a 25% increase in pay.  NCP also pays 100% medical / dental and 50% additional medical / dental bills.

NCP expects CP to take him back for modification when she learns of this pay increase.

New GA child support guidelines go into effect January 2007 to a Shared Income Model.  When I plug NCP's new income and CP's income into calculator, the amount is $50 higher than current child support.

1.  If CP takes NCP back for modification this summer, will a Judge increase child support based on the old guidelines (where NCP pays 100% of child support) even though the guidelines will change to Shared Income Model a few months later?

2. Is NCP obligated to inform CP of his new income?

Thanks Soc!

Judge will probably stay any decision until the new law becomes effective.

Not under any support law of which I'm presently aware, other than the standard rules for discovery (i.e., if she moves for modificaiton and requests your financials, then you have to provide them to her).

 But, I don't know the particulars of GA support law, so it's possible that there's a statue requiring disclosure. Also, if your current orders require you to disclose, then you would have to disclose.
