A: If the order was issued from another state and is being enforced in Georgia, you will need to domesticate the order in Georgia before it can be enforced.

A: The first step is to get certified copies of the out of state order, as that is what you will need in order to domesticate and enforce it in Georgia.

A: First, you may wish to consult with a local attorney here to review the language of the order(s) that award you visitation. A competent attorney in this manner will also provide you options. Hopefully both personal jurisdiction of the other parent and the order(s) of which you speak are the same State.
