Q: How long does the child support process take I file back in November of 2016. And I still haven’t had a hearing
They verified his address and job.
A:
As to the first question: How long does the child support process take?
That depends on the county. Often, in smaller counties, the process goes quicker.
But, if you filed in November 2016 (over two years ago) then, there is probably something amiss -- it shouldn't ever take over two years to get a hearing. There's probably an administrative or clerical error, and someone forgot to docket your case.
Did you file this case in court? If so, call the court clerk, and ask what the situation is.
Did you file the case in DHS? If so, call DHS, and ask what the situation is.
Whoever you call, remind them that you filed an action, and that you have not had a hearing.
