Re: Filing a contempt order

Yes, if Child Support "CS" was required. If it wasn't then no. Jusrisdiction would be Hall County. Otherwise, if he hasn't paid you any CS in the last 30 days, contact your local Magistrate Ct for a criminal warrant for abandonment of minor child, this jurisdiction would be Mitchell County and no attorney needed.
