Child support calculations come into play in multiple types of cases, from divorce and legitimation actions to custody and visitation modification actions.  In all of these types of cases, the Georgia Division of Child Support Services (CSS) may ultimately play a part: whether by collecting child support payments and distributing the same or by filing actions in superior court to establish child support or seeking contempt orders for nonpayment of child support.

CCS often files cases on behalf of custodial parents who have not established child support orders in other cases (such as a divorce or legitimation action).  These cases are routinely filed by CSS against unrepresented parties, which often does not end well for the unrepresented party.  Georgia law is clear: parents have an obligation to support their children.  Notwithstanding the law, however, that does not mean that the system should be used against unrepresented parties.
