The ex spouse’s rights regarding any assets from the divorce should be already spelled out in the divorce decree. But once the court divided up the assets and property in the divorce, that’s it.

Im just tring to understand what this means and do i have to worry about it in my case i emailed my lawyer office but of course no response
A Georgia attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks and time is usually of the essence in responding to motions and pleadings. What you describe sounds like it could possibly be something problematic - but still needs more information. As a GENERAL matter in ANY... Read more »
I haven't received a payment since August. My ex received both stimulus checks. When I ask for an update they say no updates and they will reach out to the other state
If your ex is behind in his court-ordered child support or alimony payments, you will need to file a contempt action against him in the Court that issued the order. It is not clear who you are referring to by stating "they say no updates." If you are referring to child support services,... Read more »

The office of child support services only reviews once every THREE years. If you want to have it revised in two years you will have to go through a private attorney. Contact our office to schedule a consultation. We would be happy to help.
We would need to know where you are in regard to the process in order to provide you with guidance. Is this your first time addressing child support, are you being called back in, etc.? It’s always a good idea to work with an attorney.
The arrears must be paid in order for the license to be reinstated.
We would need more information to determine why you may have been provided two checks.
My divorce papers state that I pay $500 per month for two kids. When my son graduated I was informed that I must still pay $500 because it didn't state $250 per child. Since I owe back child support, I pay $600 per month. The monthly support should have been reduced to $250 for the one... Read more »
Your child support doesn't necessarily go down because one child graduated. If you make more money than you did when the support was calculated, it's possible the support could even go up. $600 is not a lot to pay, so you might be better off just continuing as is. Or, you can file a... Read more »
I pay 2750 a month in combined child support and alimony on the 1st and 15th of each month, and I set up a payment through my bank into my ex’s bank typically a week before it’s due. The money always comes out of my account before the 1st or the 15th, but sometimes my ex gets it late due to the... Read more »
With respect to child support and I suspect spousal maintenance as well the answer is “no”. While it is “due” on the 1st, it is not uncharacteristic for it to be paid on a person’s pay period end date, usually twice a month. For that reason, it is typical that a month’s support is not...

Yes, you should continue to send support.
I've been in and out of the hospital for the past four years and have been homeless for three years of that. My ex-husband, with whom I share joint custody, yesterday refused to allow me to see, talk to, and spend time with my son. He claims that legally he had the right to refuse me... Read more »
I agree with my colleague. The child support should not stand in the way of being able to visit with the child. However, since four years has passed since you have seen the kids it would be a good idea to work with someone to help insure that things go well getting back into the visits.

Parenting time is not connected to child support. However, given the time you have been away, it may be a good idea to set up counseling to ensure a smooth transition back to regular court ordered parenting time.

We had an administrative hearing and my ex lied about a check I deposited into his account for child support. The account later became a joint account but he removed $4000 to his personal savings account that I had no access to. He claimed we both used the $5500 but I found proof after the hearing....

You may not be able to do anything. Evidence you found after the fact that you could have found before is not a reason to reopen a case,
Adoption issues are something that you usually can’t do on your own. It would be wise to at least consult with an attorney who can review the facts of the case in detail and present you with the options, as well as provide you with direction for the proper course of action to take.
I’m not aware of a law that prohibits a divorced parent to move out of state. However most parenting plans contain a provision that requires parents to notify each other in advance when they are moving.
No. The new spouse's income is not factored into a child support order. However, just because he refuses to be employed does not mean that the court can not impute him at an income commensurate with what he has the ability to make.
by my mother and come to find out the kids are not mine. So how can I handle this to get rid of my back child support and or if I can get some money back
If there was an Order establishing paternity, you will not be able to get the child support you have paid, or owe back. Did you do a DNA test at the time child support was originally put in place?
