How is a court order governing child support enforced?
A Georgia court order governing child support can be enforced by the garnishment of wages or by a contempt action, which would be filed in the same court that issued the divorce. In addition, Georgia child support enforcement can be done through the district attorney if the non-paying spouse resides out of town. Do I need a Georgia Divorce Attorney if my spouse and I agree on everything? By law you do not need a lawyer to get a divorce in Georgia, but as divorce attorneys we strongly recommend you get one even if you are filing for an uncontested divorce. An experienced divorce lawyer will help ensure that all matters are resolved, especially issues you and your spouse likely have not yet thought about. Acting without the help of a divorce lawyer may end up being a very expensive mistake for both the husband, wife, and any children.
