Re: north carolina recognition of alimony awards in Georgia
NC will recognize the GA alimony award. NC cannot change a GA award. In other words, GA alimony laws apply in NC. You can seek to modify the GA award based on a change in circumstances. I may have a cheaper solution to outright retaining an attorney at this point in time. If you are interested in obtaining access to legal advice for this and any other issues that may arise without the need to pay out big bucks first, please e-mail me and I will send some info out to you.
Either way, I wish you good luck.
