Re: non payment of alimony
She could (a) file a contempt action in Dekalb Co. and have him served whereever he lives or (b) garnish his bank account. She should consult with a local attorney. If a judge were to order a wage deduction, she might as well seek that in conjunction with the contempt proceeding.
Re: non payment of alimony
Your mother should file an action for contempt. Georgia does have income deduction orders. Feel free to contact my office for assistance in this matter.
