Will do. I don't know if went to the links referred to in the article but in the Sweat case the process used to obtain child support payments was deemed unconstitutional by a lower court, but the Georgia supreme court reversed the decision saying the lower court had acted erroneously. We believe the law is on the side of the lower court and hope to encourage the Sweats to appeal at the federal level. There is another case in Tennessee, although we have not filed a friend of the court brief in that case, we probably will during the appeals process.
Even though these cases deal with child custody and support issues, all you have to do is change the words regarding custody and support to divorce and the words children to respondent. The constitutional issues regarding denial of due process are the same.
