My ex-husband hasn't paid child support in five weeks. What should I do?
My ex-husband hasn't paid child support in five weeks. Should I file comtempt of court charges or child abandonment charges against him? I send him a text every week asking him if he is going to pay this week. Every week he tell me he will pay when he gets the money. The only time he visits her is when she stays overnight with my aunt. He will stop by the for an hour or two. He has only taken our daughter to stay the night with him twice since December 2009 and that was because I sent him a video of her crying for him. He has never taken her for the weekend and he never calls to ask how she is doing.

I live in Georgia. The child abandonment does apply where I live and there is a court order for child support and visitation in our divorce agreement. The child support is to be deposited into my checking account by him each week.

Child support was ordered by the court. He is to deposit it into my account each week.

His visitation was to be every other weekend with at least 48 hr notice if he was unable to get her for the weekend. He has never taken her for the weekend.
