I was wondering if someone could give me some advice or if anyone has had to deal with this.
I live in Georgia, my hometown, I moved back here when my son was 5 months old, he was born in Tennessee, which is where his father lives. (My DS is now 4 and 1/2)
I filed for child support in 2009, they established a case in 2010, but other than that they have done NOTHING for me. No court date, no court order, nothing. I gave them numerous information including his drivers license number and social security number.
I have contacted the interstate child support office, the local office, and the office in TN to no avail.
I am assuming they "can't find him" or they just aren't trying since it's out of state.
* He does not talk to my DS, and has not seen him since he was 10 months old. I on the other had hear from him about once a month. He does not work, has no car, makes no effort to try to see him, or send money or nessessities. He thinks because he does not work, that it's ok to not support his son.
I would like to get the ball rolling on a case, or have his rights terminated.
Hi and welcome to the court.

It's horrible that they don't do nothing. They're lazy , and don't want to deal with other states.
You need to apply in GA which is where you currently reside. Do you work? Ever applied for FS? Apply for ANY form of public assistance (even if you don't need it), and it will get the ball rolling faster since the state will want the non-custodial parent to pay them back. I know someone who did this even though she didn't need it. She applied for FS (she got $150), medicaid, and childcare assistance (only had to pay $15/wk compared to the $68/wk she was paying). It took a few months but the state found the deadbeat and he's paying the state back what his child received and child support started rolling in. Good luck!
idk what to adivse you but if he has no job anyways you arent gonna get much.
this is true unfortunately. if you are self supprting, they dont give a shit but they are thirsty as hell to recoup aid.

I would find an attorney that has a LexusNexus system. If you have your ex's SSN# you can track where he works and if he's paid taxes. Perhaps you can put a lien on his taxes? Either way, pulling up his info will give you where he's working (state and fed taxes paid). If you have a signed agreement for cs and your ex has not paid one dime in over a year he automatically in contempt of court. He has to have a living somehow.

Thanks for the replies ladies. I am remarried, my husband has been taking care of him since he was 5 months old when we met. We've been married four years. I do get foodstamps (80$ a month) and medicaid. I have another child too.
I filed for the foodstamps and medicaid to get the ball rolling but apparently that didn't work, but they did say I had to apply for child support if I recieved the medicaid.
He apparently lives with his mom and dad. IF he works it's probably with his dad and is not on a payroll, but as far as he's told me he's trying to get disability. (Which I do not think he needs, as he is not disabled at all).
Good news, im so excited!
