Q. Addressing false child support claim in Tennessee
A: First of all, you should seek the counsel of an attorney ASAP. There seems to be some jurisdictional and service issues here, and you maybe waive those defenses if you appear on September 10. That being said, if you are served, you should show up to your court date. Like I said before, I cannot give you reliable advice without seeing the pleadings, supporting documents, and hearing your side of the story, so you really need to talk to an attorney about this matter.
Q. What are my options to enforce child support payment across state lines and handle visitation issues?
A: This sounds like classic contempt. So long as you can find him and serve him, you can petition the court to issue an attachment (jail him until he pays) and hold him in contempt. You should talk to an attorney who is intimately familiar with UIFSA and can fight for your rights across state lines using the local courts.
Q. License and tag issues due to wreck and officer harassment.
A: You need to talk to an attorney about those charges ASAP. If the case was dismissed, your license should not have been revoked. I do not believe this was the officer's fault, and it is likely a clerical error as to the disposition of your original case. This will likely involve wrangling with both the local court and bureaucratic state in Nashville.
