On October 3, 2013, the Family Law Section met for breakfast catered by Sawicki’s at the Historic DeKalb County Courthouse. Before a record number of attendees, Superior Court Judges Seeliger and Barrie answered questions and pondered hypotheticals related to complex child support scenarios. (Judge Becker was also scheduled to attend, but unfortunately had to be absent at the last moment.) The discussion centered primarily on the application of Schedule E Deviations and how the judges have approached them when such deviations are presented at trial.
