Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia
uresa
After finding that I could not pay the court ordered amount of child support in 1986 the Child support recovery unit used the uresa act to reduce the amount I was required to pay. Ten years later they revoked the order and put the amount back to the original court ordered amount. Putting me 15,000.00 dollars in arrears. Since I never missed a payment how can I be legally held responsible for following a court order? What is my legal recourse. I might add that this arreage legally throws me into the deadbeat parent area and put my license up for grabs.

Re: uresa
i do not have all the facts of your case but generally an order that has been in effect ten years with no appeal or hearing can not be "revoked" and the prior order reinstituted. You need to consult an attorney immediately. you will need to take copies of the original child support order and the order reducing support and the order "revoking" that order.
