Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

About 11 years ago my wife divorced me after a 10 month separation and I was living in another state and was not at the hearing to contest. A judge signed off on a divorce settlement leaving me to owe "x" amount of money and the divorce was listed as "uncontested" due to my absence/ (funny though how the final draft of the divorce made it to me by fed ex just a week later, yet they claim they could not find me to serve a hearing date) Anyway, my question is : after 11 years an she still come back on me and sue for the amount, or is there any kind of statute that has expired?
