I Live in VA now, I divorced in GA in 2002 and pay one son child support to my ex in GA at $600/mo since. GA DCSS sent me a letter of recommandation to ask me to pay $1059/mo due to combined incomes between me (in VA) and my Ex wife (in GA), and based on child support giudeline table. My question is
1) If ignore the letter of recommandation from GA DCSS to ask me to pay $1059/mo, what is GA DCSS going to do to me?
2) Can GA DCSS recommend to GA superior court to order me to pay $1059/mo regardless if I agreed or not?
3) I know in VA one child support based on child support guideline table I pay only $800/mo but GA child support guideline table required me to pay $1059/mo, can VA child support law or court help me pay as VA child support guideline require?
4) What can I do to get VA court involved so I can pay less than what GA DCSS demand me to pay?

GA has jurisdiction so VA has nothing to do with it. If you ignore the recommendation they will probably go to court and get a default order against you. So you are better off submitting actual income info.

Have you been back to court on this or is there some reason they have asked for such a dramatic change? Do you know how much your ex makes?

VA has no bearing in this what so ever, so forget what their law is, you are under GA law and for as long as the other parent and child lives in GA, that is where the case will be heard.

And yes, if you don't respond with proof that you should not be paying more, they will send this to the court. Most child support increase ( or decrease) can be done without the parties appearing in GA, You merely submit the paper work to the courts for them to rule on it.

And yes, GA it is based on the number of days each party has the child, and by the income of each party.

So if over the last 9 years your income has went up "alot' you will owe the increase.

1) If ignore the letter of recommandation from GA DCSS to ask me to pay $1059/mo, what is GA DCSS going to do to me?

Georgia is the home state and Georgia has jurisdiction over your case.

2) Can GA DCSS recommend to GA superior court to order me to pay $1059/mo regardless if I agreed or not?

Yes , DCSE may do it without regard to your opinion

3) I know in VA one child support based on child support guideline table I pay only $800/mo but GA child support guideline table required me to pay $1059/mo, can VA child support law or court help me pay as VA child support guideline require?

No way

4) What can I do to get VA court involved so I can pay less than what GA DCSS demand me to pay?

Va courts cannot be involved because Va does not have jurisdiction over your case.
