I know for a fact that this child doesn’t live with him at all. No clothes, crib, diapers or anything of the child’s is in his home. What can be done to prove that so the payments wouldn’t be lowered?

You won't get child support without service. He has to be served. Talk to an attorney about filing a case and using a special process server to get him served.

Yes
I don't want courts to decide custody & support. Our child graduates high school in May, but doesn't turn 18 until July. I want to know if I can file in May, or if I should wait until July.

You can file in May. After July, there are no custody issues, and there would only be 2 months left of child support, but the odds of getting a hearing before the child turns 18 is not good.

Yes, he can file contempt if he doesn't have the money. You will not be assigned an attorney. No one has a right to have an attorney in a DCSS contempt as the obligor. You likely will need an attorney to sort this out.

It is best to file for a Temporary Protective Order if you discern that a real threat is possible. Before doing so, file a police report if this individual has abused you and/or is threatening to abuse you or your family. It may be helpful to consult with an attorney as well.

He is court ordered to pay exwife child support. Can she request back child support when the children doesnt live with her and havent in a while now?
answered on Feb 25, 2020
It is very possible that he can be ordered to pay child support arrears for the time that the children were not living with the ex-wife. He should speak with an attorney regarding modifying the order if the children are now living with a third party.
When child support cases are closed in Georgia do the arrears owed just go away?

Normally, the child support stops after high school if the child is already 18, so the support should end, but you should show your paperwork to an attorney who can give you advise. As the child is 18, he is an adult and is free to decide for himself whether he wants to have a relationship with... View More

You can check with the clerk of court where the action allegedly took place. If there was an order issued against you and you were not properly served, you need to consult an attorney to discuss having the order set aside.
