Gainesville, GA asked in Child Support and Family Law for Georgia

Q: Had a hearing on modification of alimony & C.S. in April, no amount was set at hearing, got papers July, owe for may

If the judge didnt know the amounts at the hearing in April, recieved paperwork in July,backdating owed child support and have to refund alimony for may & june. Is that leagal? If no amount was established during court by judge, he said he would have to figure out how much child support I owed because my ex lied on his financial affidavit and a new one needed to be drafted. Do I owe for may and june? I am in contempt now because I was advised not to pay, so I didn't pay yet. Do i have to pay back the alimony also?

A: The order will determine when your obligation to pay begins. In order for you to be in contempt the opposing party would need to file a motion for contempt against you.
