What is the name of your state? GA
I was divorced in MO and the CS order was also issued from there. I live in GA with the kids, NCP lives in Nevada. I am using the child support enforcement office here to try to get a modification of the support order. We have been divorced for 7 years and this is the first modification request.
NCP sent a letter to GA Support Office after he was served the papers, that he has retained an attorney and he wants to get jurisdiction moved to Nevada because that's where he lives. From everything I've read I thought that jurisdiction is where the kids live. Questions:
How can he get it moved to Nevada?
If he has an attorney why wouldn't the attorney write the letter for him?
How will obtaining an attorney help my ex? I thought that modification was based on the guidelines of the state (in this case GA), your income and expenses statement and then the amount is decided. What will the attorney be able to accomplish?
Could he be hoping to get it transfer to Nevada because the child support calculator there would be more in his favor than in Georgia?
Thanks for the answers, I did search the forum, but didn't find answers to my questions.
