Orders for payment of child support are typically entered in divorce cases in the Circuit Court, or in other custody proceedings in the District or Juvenile Courts.

Any petition to modify child support (or to modify custody) must be filed as a new case - with the same base case number as the original child support or custody order, and the next consecutive point extension. For example, the first modification filed after the final divorce decree in case number 34-DR-2023-900014.00 would be numbered 34-DR-2023-900014.01.
A filing fee is required, as shown on the fee chart.
As with any divorce or custody proceeding, it is recommended to obtain the services of an attorney before attempting to file a case seeking to modify child support or custody. If you choose to attempt the filing on your own (pro se), you should know that the Circuit Clerk's office cannot give you advice as to the proper documents to file or how to prepare them.

Except in special circumstances, all Child Support is paid to the Alabama Central Disbursement Division in Montgomery. This includes payments from individuals and payments through a withholding order. All payments must list the entire 16-digit case number. The first four digits on a Geneva County divorce case will be 34-DR. The next four digits are the four-digit case year. The next six digits are the case number (with leading zeroes). The last two digits are the point extension (.00, .01, etc.) For example, a Geneva County divorce, commonly referred to as case DR-20-74 would be entered as: 34DR2020000074.00.
