    What do I file for an income deduction order for child support in Georgia
    I just finalized my divorce and they ordered my ex to pay child support. He says he won't pay it so I need to file for an Income deduction order. Do I just file the order, then they set a court date? Do I file the order then have to serve my ex, then go to court? What forms do I need to file with the court?

    Wage garnishment is really the ideal way, assuming he had a job...
