2021 Georgia Code|Title 19 - Domestic Relations|Chapter 11 - Enforcement of Duty of Support|Article 3 - Uniform Interstate Family Support Act|Part 6 - Enforcement and Modification of Support Order After Registration|§ 19-11-172. Jurisdiction; Application of Article

  If all of the parties who are individuals reside in Georgia and the child does not reside in the issuing state, a tribunal in Georgia has jurisdiction to enforce and to modify the issuing state's child support order in a proceeding to register that order.   A tribunal in Georgia exercising jurisdiction as provided in this Code section shall apply the provisions of Parts 1 and 2 of this article and the procedural and substantive law of Georgia to the proceeding for enforcement or modification. Parts 3, 4, 5, 7, and 8 of this article do not apply.     (Code 1981, §19-11-172, enacted by Ga. L. 1997, p. 1613, § 33; Ga. L. 2013, p. 705, § 1/SB 193.)

2021 Georgia Code|Title 19 - Domestic Relations|Chapter 11 - Enforcement of Duty of Support|Article 3 - Uniform Interstate Family Support Act|Part 6 - Enforcement and Modification of Support Order After Registration|§ 19-11-173. Filing Requirement for Modified Order

 Within 30 days after issuance of a modified child support order, the party obtaining the modification shall file a certified copy of the order with the issuing tribunal that had continuing, exclusive jurisdiction over the earlier order and in each tribunal in which the party knows the earlier order has been registered. A party who obtains the order and fails to file a certified copy is subject to appropriate sanctions by a tribunal in which the issue of failure to file arises. The failure to file does not affect the validity or enforceability of the modified order of the new tribunal having continuing, exclusive jurisdiction.    (Code 1981, §19-11-173, enacted by Ga. L. 1997, p. 1613, § 33; Ga. L. 2013, p. 705, § 1/SB 193.)

  Except as otherwise provided in Code Section 19-11-184.6, if a foreign country lacks or refuses to exercise jurisdiction to modify its child support order pursuant to its laws, a tribunal of Georgia may assume jurisdiction to modify the child support order and bind all individuals subject to the personal jurisdiction of the tribunal whether the consent to modification of a child support order otherwise required of the individual pursuant to Code Section 19-11-170 has been given or whether the individual seeking modification is a resident of this state or of the foreign country.   An order issued by a tribunal of this state modifying a foreign child support order pursuant to this Code section is the controlling order.     (Code 1981, §19-11-174, enacted by Ga.

A petitioner may file a direct request seeking recognition and enforcement of a support order or support agreement. In the proceeding, Code Sections 19-11-184.1 through 19-11-184.8 apply.

2021 Georgia Code|Title 19 - Domestic Relations|Chapter 11 - Enforcement of Duty of Support|Article 3 - Uniform Interstate Family Support Act|Part 7 - Determination of Parentage|§ 19-11-184.1. Request for Registration

  Except as otherwise provided in this part, a party who is an individual or a support enforcement agency seeking recognition of a convention support order shall register the order in this state as provided in Part 6 of this article.   Notwithstanding Code Sections 19-11-130 and subsection (a) of Code Section 19-11-161, a request for registration of a convention support order must be accompanied by:   A complete text of the support order or an abstract or extract of the support order drawn up by the issuing foreign tribunal, which may be in the form recommended by the Hague Conference on Private International Law;   A record stating that the support order is enforceable in the issuing country;   If the respondent did not appear and was not represented in the proceedings in the issuing country, a record attesting, as appropriate, either that the respondent had proper notice of the proceedings and an opportunity to be heard or that the respondent had proper notice of the support order and an opportunity to be heard in a challenge or appeal on fact or law before a tribunal;   A record showing the amount of arrears, if any, and the date the amount was calculated;   A record showing a requirement for automatic adjustment of the amount of support, if any, and the information necessary to make the appropriate calculations; and   If necessary, a record showing the extent to which the applicant received free legal assistance in the issuing country.     A request for registration of a convention support order may seek recognition and partial enforcement of the order.   A tribunal of Georgia may vacate the registration of a convention support order without the filing of a contest under Code Section 19-11-184.2 only if, acting on its own motion, the tribunal finds that recognition and enforcement of the order would be manifestly incompatible with public policy.   The tribunal shall promptly notify the parties of the registration or the order vacating the registration of a convention support order.     (Code 1981, §19-11-184.1, enacted by Ga.

  Except as otherwise provided in this part, Code Sections 19-11-164 through 19-11-167 apply to a contest of a registered convention support order.   A party contesting a registered convention support order shall file a contest not later than 30 days after notice of the registration, but if the contesting party does not reside in the United States, the contest must be filed not later than 60 days after notice of the registration.   If the nonregistering party fails to contest the registered convention support order by the time specified in subsection (b) of this Code section, the order is enforceable.   A contest of a registered convention support order may be based only on grounds set forth in Code Section 19-11-184.3. The contesting party bears the burden of proof.   In a contest of a registered convention support order, a tribunal of Georgia:   Is bound by the findings of fact on which the foreign tribunal based its jurisdiction; and   May not review the merits of the order.     A tribunal of Georgia deciding a contest of a registered convention support order shall promptly notify the parties of its decision.   A challenge or appeal, if any, does not stay the enforcement of a convention support order unless there are exceptional circumstances.     (Code 1981, §19-11-184.2, enacted by Ga.

  Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b) of this Code section, a tribunal of Georgia shall recognize and enforce a registered convention support order.   The following grounds are the only grounds on which a tribunal of Georgia may refuse recognition and enforcement of a registered convention support order:   Recognition and enforcement of the order is manifestly incompatible with public policy, including the failure of the issuing tribunal to observe minimum standards of due process, which include notice and an opportunity to be heard;   The issuing tribunal lacked personal jurisdiction consistent with Code Section 19-11-110;   The order is not enforceable in the issuing country;   The order was obtained by fraud in connection with a matter of procedure;   A record transmitted in accordance with Code Section 19-11-184.1 lacks authenticity or integrity;   A proceeding between the same parties and having the same purpose is pending before a tribunal of Georgia and that proceeding was the first to be filed;   The order is incompatible with a more recent support order involving the same parties and having the same purpose if the more recent support order is entitled to recognition and enforcement under this article in Georgia;   Payment, to the extent alleged arrears have been paid in whole or in part;   In a case in which the respondent neither appeared nor was represented in the proceeding in the issuing foreign country:   If the law of that country provides for prior notice of proceedings, the respondent did not have proper notice of the proceedings and an opportunity to be heard; or   If the law of that country does not provide for prior notice of the proceedings, the respondent did not have proper notice of the order and an opportunity to be heard in a challenge or appeal on fact or law before a tribunal; or     The order was made in violation of Code Section 19-11-184.6.     If a tribunal of Georgia does not recognize a convention support order under paragraph (2), (4), or (9) of subsection (b) of this Code section:   The tribunal may not dismiss the proceeding without allowing a reasonable time for a party to request the establishment of a new convention support order; and   The Department of Human Services shall take all appropriate measures to request a child support order for the obligee if the application for recognition and enforcement was received under Code Section 19-11-183.

 If a tribunal of Georgia does not recognize and enforce a convention support order in its entirety, it shall enforce any severable part of the order. An application or direct request may seek recognition and partial enforcement of a convention support order.    (Code 1981, §19-11-184.4, enacted by Ga. L. 2013, p. 705, § 1/SB 193.)

  Except as otherwise provided in subsections (c) and (d) of this Code section, a tribunal of Georgia shall recognize and enforce a foreign support agreement registered in this state.   An application or direct request for recognition and enforcement of a foreign support agreement must be accompanied by:   A complete text of the foreign support agreement; and   A record stating that the foreign support agreement is enforceable as an order of support in the issuing country.     A tribunal of Georgia may vacate the registration of a foreign support agreement only if, acting on its own motion, the tribunal finds that recognition and enforcement would be manifestly incompatible with public policy.   In a contest of a foreign support agreement, a tribunal of Georgia may refuse recognition and enforcement of the agreement if it finds:   Recognition and enforcement of the agreement is manifestly incompatible with public policy;   The agreement was obtained by fraud or falsification;   The agreement is incompatible with a support order involving the same parties and having the same purpose in this state, another state, or a foreign country if the support order is entitled to recognition and enforcement under this article in Georgia; or   The record submitted under subsection (b) of this Code section lacks authenticity or integrity.     A proceeding for recognition and enforcement of a foreign support agreement must be suspended during the pendency of a challenge to or appeal of the agreement before a tribunal of another state or a foreign country.

  A tribunal of Georgia may not modify a convention child support order if the obligee remains a resident of the foreign country where the support order was issued unless:   The obligee submits to the jurisdiction of a tribunal of Georgia, either expressly or by defending on the merits of the case without objecting to the jurisdiction at the first available opportunity; or   The foreign tribunal lacks or refuses to exercise jurisdiction to modify its support order or issue a new support order.     If a tribunal of Georgia does not modify a convention child support order because the order is not recognized in this state, subsection (c) of Code Section 19-11-184.3 applies.
