Unless you are willing to file for divorce or separation, there isn't anything legally anyone can do to help you resolve parenting time disputes.

Currently my child support is drafted from my paycheck and taken by child support enforcement. My son will graduate in May and turn 18 in July. I just need to know if there is a form I need to file with the court or if it automatically stops. Again, we are in Ga.
It is highly unlikely it will just stop in July. You need to consult with an attorney about your options.

You don't have any rights at all. If you want custody of your nephew, speak to an attorney about filing for guardianship or custody.

You absolutely need an attorney for your case. Each judge is different in terms of how to get on the calendar, and you can have all the evidence in the world, if you don't know how to present it properly, the judge will never see it.

What do I do? The judge ordered him to pay an exact amount of my attorney fees and I paid the rest. Now he isnt paying and my attorney is trying to make me pay saying that he isnt so now I have to. Even though he signed an agreement and so did a judge. The case has been closed for over a month.
You will always be responsible for the attorneys fees to your lawyer. When he pays, you should get reimbursed. If he is in contempt, you can always file for contempt.

She was fine when I dropped her off. Also she was not complaining of any medical issues to her dad or myself. Her dad was a work when the wife took her. The father is not legitimized. What legal action can I take?
The real question is how what your child harmed by this? If the stepmother felt she had a medical issue and the urgent care either treated it or decided there was no issue, there doesn't seem to be any harm done to your child.

We live in Walton County, GA. She agrees to everything but she won't sign. How can I get around this so I can divorce her. She is hinting that she wants the marriage to last 5 years so she can get alimony. We have no kids. She can have all the property. I just want out. I am doing this pro se.
You can ask for a hearing and the judge will finalize the divorce. You don't have to keep waiting for her to agree.

How the child arrived is irrelevant. Custody is decided on the best interest of the child. If you have a sage place to live and raise the child, and can support him or or, it is highly unlikely for a father to get custody of an infant.

It has been 8 months and Georgia has stated that they sent 2 letters to Maryland with no response and that there is nothing more that can be done. Should I hire a lawyer?
Yes, you should hire a lawyer in Maryland.
At time of firing there was 3000.00 that hadn't been earned for services yet. She is refusing to refund.
It is possible that additional work was done after the last invoice. It is also possible that the fee agreement called for a nonrefundable fee or a nonrefundable retainer.
