June 1, 2006) (Drake) – Court had authority under §105 to order Georgia Office of Child Support Services to file paperwork to get the debtor’s drivers license back.  The provisions of the Code, specifically the exception from the stay for child support payments, has served its purpose and the debtor’s support obligations are being deducted by the debtor’s employer.  Further, an inability to drive may harm debtor’s future employment, and as a result, the estate and other creditors.  An order to the OCSS to cause reinstatement of the license was "necessary" and "appropriate" to carry out the provisions of the Code.
