What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? South Carolina
**I asked this in a previous thread but wanted to put the part about child support in the correct forum:
I have a 2013 SC divorce order. I want to request a hearing for a modification of child support but my ex lives in GA with our children and has since March 2017. Nothing from the order has been transferred to GA. My question is if I file a request for hearing for modification of child support in SC, could her lawyer respond with refusal for her to attend the hearing because she lives in GA? If so, what grounds would she have to not attend the hearing in SC? I cannot travel all the way to GA to do this and I just want to make sure I don't waste the filing fee if legally she has a way of getting out of the hearing.
