What Happens if a Parent Doesn't Come to the Support Hearing

My question involves child support in the State of: Georgia let's make this as short as possable. My child father did not show up for his inital court date which was to discuss and come to an agreement on his financial responsability to our daugter. Now I was told that if he did not show we will be summoned to court. Which that is what happened. What should I expect to happen at this next court date since paper work says order and settlement.

Is CSEA handling this? You'll need to bring whatever paperwork is necessary (tax forms, insurance/medical/dental costs, daycare costs) just in case it's needed.

Not sure what CSEA is but, it's being handled by the division of child support services. We received the results from genetic testing in Nov. of 2013. We both work for the same federal government agency. He refuses to help with supporting our daughter. Im married but have been separated for over one 1 1/2, which I indicated on my medical records before delivery on May 23rd,2013. Our daugher was given the last name of her father. He met up with the birth certificate register and told her that I listed him as my husband and that's how our daughter get his name. The register created a new birth certificate with my last name and created a new social security card with a different social security number. She did all this based on a dead beat word. Now my daugher have two different last name and social security number. Can I sue vital records and have her fired. According to my medical records I listed my husband as whom I was suppose to list. I found this out when I received the new social security card, and my child father telling me they are correcting my daughter information. Thanks for telling me what to bring im fixing up a file tonite.

You can call the SSA and get the two numbers straightened out (though I don't see how you think she issued the numbers-the Feds did that). Wait until after the court hearing, when you have paperwork in hand.

Is legitimization/custody being worked out also? Have you hired an attorney? If not, I'm thinking you need to consider it.

I am a federal employee and we have nothing to do with issuing birth certificates or SS cards. Vital Records is where the hospital send birth certifcate applications/ whom forward the social security portion to SSA to create the SS Card for the new birth certificate that was created. The lady had to summitt a new application to have the SS card made. My child was born in May of 2013, which I received a SS card and Birth Certificate for my daughter in June of 2013. My Child's dead beat father gave her some lane excuse and she did a new application to request a new birth certificate/and SS Card which was issued in Oct. of 2013 the same time my childs father claims to have spoken with the lady and she was changing our daughters information.... I have proof... she needs to be fired. It's not your job as a government worker to meet up with the public and change legal documents.... but thank for your option.

No, you cannot sue whoever it was. People make mistakes. You should know this more than anybody, being a government employee and such.

HUSH about her being fired. It's NOT going to happen.

Now, my question is - given that you're a bit all over the place - is this: You were married when your daughter was born. Exactly who is her father?

The Feds (aka the Social Security Administration) issued the SS card. Nobody else did that. :numbness:

Physically or legally?

Anything-y :D

The guy she is taking to court is the bio father. He may even (now) be the legal father, depending on if the dna tests were court ordered. This is all a big mess.
