These payments were added to my Rears, Support Payments began again on 1/10/2018 I was ordered to pay half of the children's medical bills, This has always been a challenge I get sent unpaid bills and request for large sums 2,000 for braces and wanted it in a week. I moved & I did not notify the court, I thought that was for the parent with custody, Her team is holding me in contempt
A: You need to speak with an attorney in Florida if the case is in Florida. If they filed for contempt in Georgia, speak to an attorney here about defending it. If they never left Florida, you are likely going to have to file there to modify it.

A: If the original order was issued in Florida and the other party still resides in Florida, Florida retains jurisdiction and that is where you will need to file the modification action.
