Ms. Webster,
You would first need to start off by filing a petition for dissolution of the marriage to dissolve the marriage. When filing the petition you can address the custody issue and the child support as well. The Department of Child Support Services (DCSS) can be useful in assisting to get your child support payments started, but you first need to get a custody order which DCSS can help you with too. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
