The Child Support Division in the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) for most states provides child support services at little or no cost to mothers, fathers, and other individuals who request services. When providing child support services, the OAG represents the state and its interest in obtaining the financial support and involvement of both parents, and does not represent either parent in providing child support services. The OAG generally assists in (1) locating absent parents; (2) establishing paternity; (3) establishing, enforcing, and modifying child and medical support orders; and (4) collecting and distributing child support payments.

In Georgia, the Child Support Division within the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) offers assistance to individuals seeking child support services, often at minimal or no cost. The OAG's role is to act on behalf of the state's interest in ensuring that both parents contribute financially and are involved in their child's life. It is important to note that the OAG does not represent either parent but rather the state in these matters. The services provided by the OAG in Georgia include locating noncustodial parents, establishing paternity, and setting up, enforcing, or modifying child and medical support orders. Additionally, the OAG is responsible for the collection and distribution of child support payments. These services are designed to ensure that children receive the financial support they are entitled to from both parents.
