Georgia Child Support
Saturday, March 31st, 2007The Georgia Department of Human Resources Office of Child Support Services (OCSS) is in charge of making sure that child support orders are paid. The services OCSS offers also including locating missing parents, establishing paternity, establishing child support, enforcing child support payments, and collecting and distributing the child support payments. To also support the rights of the non-custodial parent, OCSS provides the Georgia Fatherhood Services Network and the Access and Visitation Program.
If you are a parent (either custodial or non-custodial), you may apply for services at a local office of the OCSS or you may apply online. You will need to make out a check or money order for a non-refundable fee of $25 to process the application unless you are receiving Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) or certain Medicaid benefits.
