The Georgia Voluntary Payment Doctrine is a policy that has been used in Georgia law since the 19th Century. It has been exercised so long that this policy has codified a statute. Because it dates back two centuries when business deals were completed on one’s word, face-to-face and with a hand shake, it causes one to question if it has outdated itself and should still be used to decide court cases in today’s business world.

“Americans cannot be imprisoned for debt,” is a statement that I am sure most of the public believes is true, while people who are more knowledgeable of criminal justice know it is untrue.

In 1983 this decision was upheld when incarcerating debtors was determined to be a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection clause (Hager, 2015).

Liens can be placed on valuable goods, property, and financial accounts that prevent the use of funds or the sale or transfer of goods when moneys are still owed on child support payments. While not effective in all situations, if the parent that is failing to make their child support payments has significant valuable property or accounts, liens can prove a very effective way of receiving back payments of moneys owed and of ensuring more timely and regular payments in the future.
