GA judgment requiring father to pay $1,639 per month in child support, REVERSED, as trial court erred in failing to hold hearing prior to imposing discovery sanctions and sanctions were unduly severe; trial court excluded critical evidence and/or precluded father from making arguments that were critical to his case; trial court also erred in calculating father’s self-employment gross income, because trial court ignored father’s business expenses and other deductions and fact that he only owned one percent of shares in small construction and remodeling company.
