child support for the following child(ren):

c. To the best of Petitioner's knowledge and belief, the registered order is the child
support order that must be recognized as the controlling order for enforcement
(O.C.G.A. § 19-11-116). Petitioner asks the Court to confirm by its order that the
registered order is the controlling order (or alternatively to determine which other

the registered order provided such request is filed within 20 days of the date of this

same time that this pleading is considered by the Court.
f. Failure of Respondent to request such a hearing in a timely manner will result in
confirmation and enforcement of the registered order and of the alleged arrearage and
will preclude any other contest of the order with respect to any matter that could have
been asserted, O.C.G.A. § 19-11-164 (b) (3), including the amount of alleged
arrearage, O.C.G.A. § 19-11-164 (b) (4).
g. Respondent's child support arrears under the registered order are $1,320.20, as
of 09/01/2022.
h. An income deduction order, in conformity with the registered order, shall be issued
by this Court (unless such order is timely and successfully contested) and sent to
Respondent's employer/payor for said employer/payor to deduct child support
payments from Respondent's income.
i. IfRespondent contests the validity or enforcement of the registered order or seeks to
vacate the registration, Respondent shall have the burden of proving one or more of
the defenses listed in 0.C.G.A. § 19-11-166 (a), or else the Court shall issue an order
confirming the registered order. O.C.G.A. § 19-11-166 (c).
j. Effective as of the date of registration of the out of state order, Respondent's child
support payments shall be made to the Division of Child Support Services, Georgia
Department of Human Services.
B. Complaint for Enforcement of Registered Out of State Child Support Order by
Contempt and by Issuance of an Income Deduction Order
1. Respondent is in arrears as alleged in Part A, Paragraph g, herein.
2. Respondent has willfully failed to obey the terms of the registered order.

sanctions as if the registered order was an order issued by a court of Georgia. O.C.G.A. §
19-1 1-162 (b).
4. Petitioner therefore asks the Court to hold Respondent in contempt and to impose
appropriate sanctions.
Wherefore, Petitioner prays for the following relief:
A. That process issue:
B. That the Court confirm that the registered order is the existing child support order that
must be recognized as the controlling order for enforcement, or alternatively to determine
which other existing child support order should be so recognized, and to issue findings of fact

the State of Georgia, including holding Respondent in contempt and imposing sanctions;
