My question involves child support in the State of: GA
My case began in the state of Michigan and that is where I currently live. MI had trouble getting anywhere with collecting payments other than tax refunds because he worked for cash. I then filled out paperwork to have my case sent to GA. Things finally started to progress when suddenly he filed for bankruptcy. Of course, all collection efforts had to stop. The bankruptcy trustee did disperse $170 per month towards the arrears and he was supposed to be making the monthly payments on his own, but he never did. I tried to get something done about that, but got nowhere. After 5 years, the bankruptcy finally ended in March and I was able to get GA to start moving again. He was subpoenaed to go to court on August 6th for a contempt hearing. I found out the weekend before that he was planning a trip up here to MI for that week. Since he did not show up to court, GA issued a warrant for his arrest and I tried to contact MI friend of the court to see if there was anything they could do while he was in town. They said that since the case was now in GA, they couldn't do anything. I then waited two weeks and called the county that issued the warrant and was informed that it had been sent over to the county where he currently lives and that county was responsible for picking him up. I've been waiting for something to progress and contacted GA DCSS, who just said that as long as the warrant is out, they cannot do anything until after he is arrested. Today I called the sheriff's office where he currently lives and asked if they had any record of a warrant in his name. They said no and of course the person who handles warrants in the other county was already gone for the day.
I'm just really frustrated with the entire system and I don't understand why it is so hard to get anything done. The current arrears balance is over $38,000 and I have not received any payments since December. If anyone has any experience with this stuff or can offer any sort of advice, I would really appreciate it.
