What is the name of your state? Georgia
Unfort. I Have a bit of a problem and after surfing the web I found this site.
I will try to make this as short as possible. I had a son with my ex (not wife) during the end of our 8 year relationship. I tried to end it as nice as possible, I put 20k down on a house for them so my son would not have to live in an apartment and I have paid child support on time every month since the split up. About a year ago, my company temporarely relocated me overseas for a period of 1.5 years. Since being overseas for a year now I have paid by wire child support on time every single month (usually a week early), and I have visited my son for a total of 5 weeks since the move.
Anyway I am scheduled to go back home on 12/23 so I can spend two weeks with my son during xmas, but about a month ago my mother called me stating an officer came by her house to arrest me. Come to find out my ex went to court stating I haven't paid child support in over 3 months so I thought ok, guess she is still the same as always (8 years of being lied to, cheated on, and being physically beat by her), but I didn't worry and I sent my mom by fedex copies of all the support receipts. It took my mom a couple of weeks to see the judge, and when she finally did, he wouldn't even look at the receipts stating I failed to appear (wasn't ever notified) before him so I must appear much to my anger and suprise.
My questions are:
1) If I fly back in on the 23rd am I going to be arrested at the airport?
2) When I do get there if not arrested at the airport I am going to turn myself in immediately, how long should it take for this to be done with seeing as I have the receipts showing payment into her account?
3) Are they going to set up a court day months later like traffic tickets or should I be able to see the judge right away to get this taken care of
4) What can I do to assure she doesn't do this again, will the judge do anything to her for telling such a blatant lie and causing so much problems?
Thanks in advace for any advise..
