Every location is different. What is the questionaire for? Application of services takes a LONG time. It was 15 months last time.

I filled that out when I filed for CS. It took over a year.

OK, so you're just now filing. Depending on case load, at least a year. Child Support is retroactive from birth. Once you have an order for support, expect at least 6w before checks start coming in. And, depending on how you state handles it, if he changes jobs, it can be YEARS before they catch up with him.

My ex would leave everytime Texas found him. When it was time for our 5 year review, he hadn't paid in 4 years. Eventually, the state started using a web reporting system, and no matter where he goes, they know within 1 week that he started a new job. It then takes about 30 days for the payroll deduction to go through.
