You didn't ask a question, but my advice is to file for divorce in Georgia ASAP. After she is gone 6 months Georgia will lose jurisdiction over the custody of your children.

I gave birth to our son at the end of 2019. We ended our relationship in 2020 and he hasn't really contributed financially since then. I opened a child support case in January 2021, how long the does child support process usually take?
