Q: My son's father doesn't help me at all with our son. I filed for cs in Jjne 2021 we established paternity in July and
He signed a petition of what he was ordered to pay. As of today there has been no payments made and the order has not even been filed at chancery court bc they keep saying it has to go before a judge for signature
A: I am going to assume that you went through DHS to establish paternity and child support. If the Order was signed by all parties in July, 2021, there is no excuse for the delay in presenting it to the Judge. You should contact the attorney handling the paternity action and make a demand that the order be entered. You could also contact the law firm of Young, Williams directly and ask if they have the contract for your county and then ask to speak to the supervising attorney.
