Question by gladhesgone: Contempt of Child Support in GA?
My ex has been in child support recovery for 3 years now. They allow him a month to pay, till he is behind. Then they send him a letter saying he is late. He waits 30 more days, now 60 days past due – they send another letter to the DMV to try and pull his license. The DMV has to give him 30 days to pay before taking it. So 90 days – he usually made a payment just to keep his license. He wont work. Well the last time he paid was MAY 08. 9 months ago! They took his stimulus (I have NO IDEA how he got not working) in July, which is 3 – but they wont release that to me until 180 days is up – January.
So they finally set him up for a contempt of court date for December 10th. Thing is – they said he has to come to the child support office FIRST. They try to settle it there, before going to court. And I don’t have to be there. Does this not sound like he will get off AGAIN???

He had recently lost his license due to being so far behind, then he joined their fatherhood program (which sends him to a vocational school, trains him, and finds him a job) Well he didn’t do that long, and has said he has found a job and starts Monday. So they re-instated his license.

A contempt of a judges order – I have always heard he better have some money, or go to jail. But since he “claims” yet again to have found a job, and starts Monday – can I expect NOT to receive any money next week?

I hate the system. I’m not on Welfare. I am in college trying to better my life, yet deadbeat dads always beat the system!

If anyone has went through this, please tell me what to expect because I am so going!!!

My aunt went through this. Some really seem to be good at beating the system. My uncle faked a back injury and said he couldn’t work, but did it on his own time, so work wouldn’t cover it. Said he couldn’t afford a doctor and recovery… Then went and mowed lawns and odd jobs under the table till the kids were 18.

He beat the system completely. Sounds like yours just might as well. Stinks! I think if they don’t pay, we should get to beat them with a baseball bat. haha!

I hope things turn out better for you though.
