After receiving your completed application packet and fee, Child Support Services has 20 calendar days to establish a case for you on the computer system. If additional information is needed from you, Child Support will contact you. If additional information is not needed from you, your case will be processed through the various case functions. Child Support is required to notify the custodial parent of major events in a case such as court dates and paternity testing appointments.
You can check the status of your application at: https://services.georgia.gov/dhr/cspp/do/public/ApplyNow
If you need assistance with the registration process, you do not know your IRN number or Client ID, have specific questions about your child support case or have questions about this website, contact the OCSS Hotline at:

You DO NOT need a court order before you file for Child Support, and yes, you have taken all the correct steps (by identifying the potential father, his SSN, Address, Vehicle information, etc).
At this point, call your local Child Support Enforcement Office and ASK to make an appointment to talk with a CaseWorker on this Child Support Case. Sometimes, they may give you a status update on the phone -- but for your own knowledge ... do set the appointment and go in person.
Sometimes it takes a bit of time (and some additional information gathering on your part) to finally GET the "Father" into court to establish Child Support .. .and yes, after the process is done (with the Help of Child Support Enforcement and their investigations), then the Judge WILL issue a support order.
YOU need do the follow-up -- and yes, that will be your responsibility. ASK The caseworker what OTHER information they need, and DO try to get it for them.
Sometimes, the "father" ducks out and avoids being served with the papers that Child Support Enforcement has prepared in the case -- and will continue to do so for as long as he can. So you may also need to provide the information on his family/personal friends as well to 'help' get the order served on him.

You dont need a court order to "file" for child support.. but you do need a court order to collect child support...
You "File" in family court for child support.. and be prepared to PROVE that whom you are filing agains is actually the father , the court will require a DNA test if he claims hes NOT (and men now adays if they have an ounce of brains will contest that.. as it increasing turns out they really aren the fathers when the test comes down)

You cannot receive child support without going to a court system when the father is unwilling to pay it. I qould get a lawyer, have him or her help you.

No. If you will go to the CS office in person and complain enough, they will rule the paying parent in right away.

You shouldn't, call your attorney general and ask what's taking so long.
