Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia
Out of state visitation
I live in Minneapolis, and my grandchildren (ages 4 & 5) were relocated to Atlanta, GA in September. I have gotten a visitation order from family court in Hennepin County. I need to know what the process is to be able to have the order enforced in Atlanta.
Thank You

If you have a grqand parenting time order in Minnesota, you must file acertified copy in the jurisdiction where you hope to have it enforced.
Re: Out of state visitation
You need to enroll the judgment in Georgia and enforce it there. No state will enforce a foreign judgment without it being enrolled locally and enforced locally. Additionally, you should consult with a Georgia attorney as enforcing grandparent visitation may not be too easy in Georgia.
