    Anyone in Georgia share results of child abandonment hearing?
    I have an abandonment hearing scheduled for August 20th. Can anyone else give me info on the outcome of their cases? I expect he will not show since he ran off to another state. Will he have to stay in jail until he can pay the 20,000 in arrears? Child support here in Georgia is ridiculous. I have been working with them for 1 1/2 yrs with no help except he lost his driver's license but still drives. I would love to be part of an effort to change the laws here and have a political background and live in Dekalb County.
    Also: I wish this site had an option to change user name. I thought I was entering a password so I guess I'll have to keep using my dog's name.

    A name is a name.

    If he is a no show, they may issue a warrant for his arrest. And the bail is normally the amount of past due support.
    But normally they only keep them in jail a few weeks to a few months and then have them set up a payment plan with the court
    ** they can not pay if in jail** jail just helps get them serious about paying
