Huntsville, AL asked in Child Support for Alabama

Q: Can I request a copy of the child support order myself from the responding state?

Non Contested. Father walked out on me and our child in 2021 moving to MS as me (mom) and our child reside in AL. Filed for child support Dec 2021 through DHR. Case was sent to MS where father resides. His court date was last month. He was a no show. The judge place an order. Am I allowed to contact that county and request a copy of the order even though I my case worker is in AL and his is in MS? My case has been extremely exhausted with timing and I can never get an answer from DHR.
