A: You should hire an attorney, that’s the best advice I can give you. An attorney can research the case to determine if you were properly served. If you were properly served according to the law, your failure to appear will likely stand. If you were not properly served the order can be challenged. But all of this should be done ASAP and with an attorney, as the Division of Chils Support Services is unlikely to listen to you personally.
