Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

I was served contempt charges in the county in which I lived by my ex wife for non payment of marital debt in which I was ordered to pay during our divorce. At the time of the contempt I was neither living in the same county as my ex, or the county in which we were divorced. A judgement was made in which I was ordered to pay a lump sum by a specific date, but I was not financially able to pay the amount by that date, and had actually moved to another county (also not the one she lives in or the one our divorce was finalized in), however, I received a notice of a hearing in the county the charges were filed in. I went to the hearing, and again receased a judgment to pay a lump sum that day, followed by 2 more lump sums to be paid 2 months apart. I paid the first sum, and made a partial payment 2 months later, but was not able to pay anymore, and since have received another hearing notice on the mail. Can I have this case transferred to the county that I now live in?

You can ask, but the chances of the Judge granting a motion in your situation are about zero. The same Judge and Court retains jurisdiction over your case.
