TITLE 19 DOMESTIC RELATIONS

Section 11. Enforcement of Duty of Support, 19-11-1 through 19-11-191.

ARTICLE 3 UNIFORM INTERSTATE FAMILY SUPPORT ACT

19-11-100. Short title.

This article shall be known and may be cited as the "Uniform Interstate Family Support Act."

(Code 1981, §19-11-100, enacted by Ga. L. 1997, p. 1613, § 33; Ga. L. 2013, p. 705, § 1/SB 193.)

JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Construction of term obligor.

- Georgia Court of Appeals holds that the term obligor under the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act, O.C.G.A. § 19-11-100 et seq., does not include a corporation. Anderson Anesthesia, Inc. v. Anderson, 333 Ga. App. 437, 776 S.E.2d 647 (2015).

Applicability.

- Filing of an Alabama child support order in a Georgia court was not viewed as a traditional action on a foreign judgment, but was more appropriately governed by the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA), O.C.G.A. § 19-11-100 et seq.; in a Georgia arrearage proceeding under UIFSA, the statute of limitation under the laws of Georgia or of the issuing state, whichever was longer, and since the Alabama period for dormancy of judgments was longer than that of Georgia, Alabama law applied. Bodenhamer v. Wooten, 265 Ga. App. 733, 595 S.E.2d 592 (2004).

Procedures set forth in the Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement of Support Act, O.C.G.A. § 19-11-40 et seq., and the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act, O.C.G.A. § 19-11-100 et seq., for registering and enforcing foreign support judgments are in addition to and not exclusive of the procedures in O.C.G.A. § 9-12-130 et seq. to file and domesticate judgments for enforcement; therefore, a trial court had jurisdiction to consider a mother's petition seeking interest due on child support owing on a Tennessee divorce decree. Dial v. Adkins, 265 Ga. App. 650, 595 S.E.2d 332 (2004).

Corporation lacked standing.

- Trial court did not err in dismissing a corporation's petition seeking income withholding for child support because even when taken as true, the allegations in the petition established that the corporation lacked standing to contest the income withholding order under the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act, O.C.G.A. § 19-11-100 et seq. Anderson Anesthesia, Inc. v. Anderson, 333 Ga. App. 437, 776 S.E.2d 647 (2015).
