Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Re: She won't pay child support

I doubt that you could terminate the mother's parental rights based on your facts. You can, however, request that the court hold her in contempt for violating the custody/support decree, which would hopefully motivate her to take responsibility.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.

Re: She won't pay child support

Except in child abuse cases and adoptions, there is rarely such a thing as termination of parental rights.

What you are actually suggesting is trying to work, as a court will see it, against the interests of your child, as your child has a right to be supported.

While you may or may not succeed at it, what you do have is the right to attempt to collect child support.
