Q: Why wasn’t I allowed to prove my innocence in child support court ?
A: If you were not allowed to prove your innocence in child support court in Georgia, it is crucial to review any court orders or notices you received and consult with a family law attorney. Assess the specifics of your case, and guide you on potential legal actions. If you believe there was a procedural error, you may be able to request a modification of the child support order or a rehearing. Ensure you gather relevant evidence to support your case, as presenting a strong argument with proper documentation is essential in legal proceedings. Legal representation can be beneficial in navigating the complexities of child support court and ensuring your rights are protected.
A: I'm unsure what innocence you were proving unless this was a child abandonment action. Because when someone files a child support case against you, it is a civil case, not a criminal case. But I would advise you that next time you have any action pending, civil or criminal, that you hire an attorney.
