Domestic Relations Alimony And Child Support Generally; Enforcement Of Duty To Support; Parent And Child Relationship Generally, Jaimie Johnson Sep 1997

Domestic Relations Alimony And Child Support Generally; Enforcement Of Duty To Support; Parent And Child Relationship Generally, Jaimie Johnson

Georgia State University Law Review

The Act makes sweeping changes to Georgia's child and spousal support enforcement procedures by shifting the bulk of enforcement authority from the court system to the Child Support Enforcement Agency of the Department of Human Resources (DHR). First, the Act amends several of Georgia's alimony and child support statutes. It removes the statute of limitations for foreign judgments of child or spousal support orders and provides that child or spousal support orders cannot be changed retroactively or become dormant. It makes late child support payments judgments by operation of law, sets a time limit for contempt hearings, and allows for …

Domestic Relations Alimony And Child Support Generally: Provide A Right To A Hearing When An Income Deduction Is Ordered Because Of A One-Month Delinquency In Child Support; Provide Removal Of Certain Exceptions To Applicability In Income Deductions, Elizabeth T. Baer

Georgia State University Law Review

This portion of the Act accomplishes a housekeeping task of cleaning up a portion of chapter 6 of title 19, relating to the inclusion of non-Title IV obligors in income deduction orders. Further, the Act eliminates the fifteen¬day waiting period previously allotted a child support obligor after an order was entered as an opportunity to contest an income deduction which was issued upon a showing of a one¬month delinquency. Under the Act, the obligor may request a hearing within fifteen days after receiving notice of delinquency. However, if the obligor does not exercise this right, the income deduction order takes …

Reforming The Tax Treatment Of Divorce: Splitting The Benefits Of A Split, C. Garrison Lepow Jan 1984

Reforming The Tax Treatment Of Divorce: Splitting The Benefits Of A Split, C. Garrison Lepow

Seattle University Law Review

The purpose of this Article is to consider the tax consequences of divorce, particularly those problems relating to property settlements. The tax consequences of alimony and child support are also considered. These problems have a long history that must be reviewed in order to understand both the present law and the current proposals which were considered by the House Ways and Means Committee during the last session of Congress. Unfortunately, the narrowness of the legislative proposals permits many of the problems to continue; the proposals change only the timing of the problem.


I.R.C. Section 71: Breaking Up Is Hard To Do, John A. Lynch Jr. Jan 1982

I.R.C. Section 71: Breaking Up Is Hard To Do, John A. Lynch Jr.

Duquesne Law Review

The author believes that applying the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code governing the tax treatment of payments made incident to separation and divorce has become complicated and unpredictable. In this article, Professor Lynch examines how I.R.C. sections 71 and 215 have developed, given congressional intent, with respect to the definition of an obligation of support, the differentiation between a support obligation and a property interest, and the periodic payment requirement. He concludes with suggestions aimed at simplifying the law with respect to these payments.


Bankruptcy Court Jurisdiction To Modify Alimony Payments Of Chapter 13 Debtors, Peter Swiecicki Apr 1981

Bankruptcy Court Jurisdiction To Modify Alimony Payments Of Chapter 13 Debtors, Peter Swiecicki

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This article examines a bankruptcy court's power to modify a chapter 13 debtor's alimony payments. Part I discusses the bankruptcy court's jurisdiction in chapter 13 cases and the connection between the chapter 13 case and alimony modification proceedings. It then outlines the domestic relations limitation and the resulting conflict between bankruptcy courts and state courts with respect to alimony modification. Part II analyzes various arguments for and against allowing bankruptcy courts to hear alimony modification requests in chapter 13 cases. This analysis reveals that any state interests are far outweighed by the substantial benefits to be gained from consolidating the …

Pension Law--Garnishment--Pension Fund Benefits Governed By The Federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act Are Subject To Court-Ordered Alimony And Child Support Payments.

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Case Note summarizes the case American Telephone & Telegraph Co. v. Merry, 592 F.2d 118 (2d Cir. 1979). In this case the court of appeals faced problems of statutory construction and ERISA, namely whether ERISA protected pension plans from ganishment orders ordering alimony and child support be payed while waiting for an ultimate jugment as to whether they should be paid. The court of appeals affirmed the district court's holding that ERISA did not prohibit the garnishment of pension plan benefits to satisfy alimony and support payments nor did it displace the state court's authority in this area by …

Alimony And Child Support In Ohio: New Directions After Dissolution, William Louis Tabac Jan 1977

Alimony And Child Support In Ohio: New Directions After Dissolution, William Louis Tabac

Cleveland State Law Review

Recent decisions by the Ohio Supreme Court will undoubtedly have significant impact upon post-dissolution alimony and child support. In rejecting basic premises upon which domestic relations courts have historically ordered such payments, the court has set new directions. Traditional notions of sex-based roles in the support of the family have been set aside and new standards, based upon the needs of the parties and the factual circumstances in particular cases, have been established. As a result, the husband's statutory duty to support his wife and children during marriage will no longer govern his responsibilities toward the family following dissolution, and …

Separation Agreements In Missouri, Irwin E. Blond Jun 1970

Separation Agreements In Missouri, Irwin E. Blond

Missouri Law Review

In the calendar year of 1968 an estimated 537,000 divorces took place in the United States. In many of these divorces the respective future rights and responsibilities of the parties were fixed in a written agreement known as the "Separation Agreement." The purpose of this comment is to present the practical problems encountered in Missouri in the use of such agreements and to suggest possible solutions for them. In the absence of an agreement respecting the future responsibilities of the parties, the court's authority in such matters is limited. According to section 452.070, RSMo 1969, the court can grant a …
