Q: I live in Georgia, and the non custodial parent lives in Florida and i have an order stating he must pay child support.
He also has an attorney and getting paid under the table. I need help on what to do. He owes more than $22k in back support and trying to make deals, saying hell start paying 350 a month if i cancel half of the back support. Which is crazy, he lies and cant be trusted. What can i do? He puts everything in his girlfriends name. I feel like he always wins and me and my daughter are the ones suffering, because i have to work two jobs and now i barely have enough time to be with her because of my 2 jobs.
Edit* There was already a warrant because the State of Florida saw that he hasn't paid in a while. They discontinued service on him because they could not find him. He always hides. Puts everything in his girlfriends name. He works under the table paid in cash. Now he is saying he is moving to new york! So now Florida will have to close the case. I would like to hire an attorney but i dont have extra money for one. So i have to go through the state of Georgia. No help there either!

A:
You should hire an attorney and file for contempt.

A: I agree with attorney Edwards. You are not likely to get any results until you hire an attorney and file for contempt. He can be incarcerated until he pays a significant purge payment.
