What is the name of your state? California
Here’s a quick run down.
Married in California
Moved to Georgia with husband and son
He meets another woman, we divorced in GA
Move home to California with Son
Fight on and off for 6 years now over Support Payments and Money. Have made changes to original order, none were signed by a judge.
Opened case with DCSS 2 weeks ago
DCSS will use my original order to collect Support which is a lot more money then he’s paying me now. Which he is not happy about and points out that this order also says that my son is to visit with him every other weekend in GA.

My question is, what should I do. I can leave the money issue to DCSS but I have no court order regarding visitation that suit us leaving in two different states.
I could hire a lawyer and have him change or modify the order to better visitation but I’m told that the jurisdiction is not that easily changed.
I could wait for the father to go to court first, but I’m afraid that will give him the upper hand.
I need to know the best way to go about fixing my court order that will benefit my son.
My ex is not willing to work anything out unless its pay me nothing and send my son to me for the summer.
He dose not help with anything over the agreed amount. No medical, dental, nothing for school clothes or sports. I have to pay for all that. So unfortunately I do need the money. I also believe that flying to GA every other weekend is bogus.
Please let me know what I should do.
Thanks.

Well, the problem is that you ARE in contempt of the current visitation order if Dad wants to see the kid. You should have modified the visitation 6 years ago. SO I'd suggest you hop to it and get it done now.

No need to make these comments in private:

WoW, aren’t you a smart one. What do you think I’m doing? So your advise to me was to get on the ball, my son could have told me that. I was really hoping that I was going to get some good, real advice. Guess I was wrong. I know that I should have changed things 6 years ago, now. But back then I didn't think that it would come to all this. So that is why I posted on this site, in hopes that someone may have some how to advice for me. Not asinine answers like yours.
Thanks

You wanted to know what you should do. I told you. You need to file for a modification in GA. That's it. Period. Sorry you don't like the truth.

Obviously, you didn't understand that I don't respond to these things via pm.

It has nothing to do with the truth. Again I know that I need to modify the order. What I’m trying to find out is the best way of doing this. If you don't know or have the correct legal advice please don't respond. I'm not stupid. I am on this site to get information so that I don't loss anything or get taken. The more information I can get the better chance I have of this going my way. I will also be much more informed when talking to a lawyer and won't get taken. Understand?

You need a lawyer in GA, or you need to go there yourself and do it. The best way of doing it is with a lawyer. Obviously every other w/e is unreasonable. But All school breaks and most of the summer is not. He'll of course have to pay support. You'll likely have to pay transportation.
