(Code 1981, §19-6-30, enacted by Ga. L. 1985, p. 785, § 3; Ga. L. 1989, p. 861, § 2; Ga. L. 1992, p. 1264, § 2; Ga. L. 1994, p. 1270, § 6.5; Ga. L. 2017, p. 646, § 1-11/SB 137.)
The 2017 amendment, effective July 1, 2017, deleted former subsection (b), which read: "Any order of support entered or modified prior to July 1, 1985, shall be construed as a matter of law to contain the provision set forth in subsection (a) of this Code section."; redesignated former subsection (c) as present subsection (b); and substituted the present provisions of subsection (b) for the former provisions which read: "All Title IV-D (child support recovery) cases involving orders of support of a child or spouse entered or modified prior to July 1, 1989, or thereafter shall be subject to income deduction as defined in Code Sections 19-6-31, 19-6-32, and 19-6-33."

- Issuance of orders for income withholding, Official Compilation of the Rules and Regulations of the State of Georgia, Department of Human Services, Office of Child Support Recovery, Recovery and administration of child support, § 290-7-1-.10.

- A 15-month delay in the effective date of an upward modification of child support to allow arrearages to be paid first was improper because O.C.G.A. § 19-6-15 does not authorize a complete delay of an upward modification; the upward modification had to be made under O.C.G.A. §§ 19-6-15(f)(5)(B)(v) and19-6-30(a) so as to not create a de facto forgiveness of the payment of the arrearages.
