Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia
Child Support Arrears & Incarseration
My x-husband was incarserated in for child abuse. I just found out he got out 2 yrs ago and then contacted child support svcs to start the process of payments. My x is now saying he can't pay the arrears ($60k)or even the monthly payments now-but hired a lawyer to help him? Does he owe for the 4 yrs he was incarserated? Also, I have full custody of the children..If he files for visitation, will a judge grant visitation even though he was found guilty to child abuse?

Re: Child Support Arrears & Incarseration
The child support for the time that he was in prison might be excused but he is obligated to pay the balance. You should file a motion to reduce his arrears to a judgment so that you will have a lien for what he owes.
As for visition, a judge will be very
reluctant to allow him to have contact with the children.
