Frequently asked questions

- The packet includes a verification and an affidavit for a person filing without an attorney. Both contain sworn-to and subscribed-before-me language and a notary block.

- Complete the form without signing the sworn statement, then book with a commissioned online notary. Sign and swear to it during the video session; check court filing instructions before submitting.
- Do I need to attach the court order I want enforced?
- The petition states that a copy of the prior order is attached. Include the order you are asking the court to enforce with your filing.
- Can I use a commissioned online notary for this Georgia filing?
