OP,
Did you file on your own or with an attorney? |

| Is it part of any other action against him? I find that usually moves things along. |

Just custody. Somebody asked about counsel. I have counsel but filed on own. |

In MoCo, CS is settled before custody but can be modified at the time of the custody hearing if there is a substantial change. |

| Ask the self-help office or your lawyer for an estimate, what judges tend to do, etc. I hope it's as fast as possible. |

| To give you an idea, I filed in May in MD. My ex lived in VA at the time. He went to court in VA in Oct and I think I got my first payment in Nov or Dec. That was for an out of state case. Not as bad as I expected. |

Thanks. Did he protest? Mine is protesting. Not sure if its just paternity, jurisdiction, or both. He won't tell me. |

| Did he protest paying child support? No but who cares? They have to pay child support by law. You file the paperwork and the state/district does the rest. It isn't a choice. Is he listed on the birth certificate? If so, just do the paperwork and go from there. |

| So you filed in DC. Does he reside in DC too? Is he on the birth certificate already? |
