Canton, GA asked in Child Support and Divorce for Georgia

Q: Will the courts require the absent parent to pay child support through child support enforcement when filing for divorce

I am going to file for an uncontested divorce without an attorney. My ex and I have actually been separated for over ten years. We do have two children together, one is no longer a minor. He has agreed to sign the divorce packet if I waive the child support. Is this possible? I know that it isn’t the smartest thing to do but he has never helped me financially with our children anyway. At this point I just want to be divorced and I want to do it in the cheapest way possible.
