O.C.G.A. 19-12-2 Case Law from Google Scholar Amendments to OCGA 19-12-2

TITLE 19 DOMESTIC RELATIONS

Section 12. Name Change, 19-12-1 through 19-12-4.

ARTICLE 3 UNIFORM INTERSTATE FAMILY SUPPORT ACT

19-12-2. Hearing on objections to petition.

If written objections are filed by any interested or affected party within the time limits specified in subsection (h) of Code Section 19-12-1, the court shall proceed to hear the matter at chambers.

(Ga. L. 1875, p. 103, § 2; Code 1882, § 1787b; Civil Code 1895, § 2496; Civil Code 1910, § 3015; Code 1933, § 79-502; Ga. L. 1961, p. 129, § 2; Ga. L. 1973, p. 504, § 2; Ga. L. 2017, p. 571, § 2/HB 279.)

The 2017 amendment, effective July 1, 2017, substituted "subsection (h)" for "subsection (f)" near the middle and deleted "thereupon" preceding "proceed" near the end.

JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Written objections improperly ignored.

- In addition to the lack of personal service, the judgment in the case was infirm because of the trial court's failure to consider the prisoner-father's written objections to the petition, contrary to the requirement of O.C.G.A. § 19-12-2. Brown v. Waters, 208 Ga. App. 866, 432 S.E.2d 817 (1993).
