The Georgia Fatherhood Program
Georgia is helping more low-income fathers than any other state in
the country. Since the program was started in 1997, the Georgia
Fatherhood Services Network has provided services to over 11,000
non-custodial parents statewide. Georgia recognized early on that
many non-custodial parents wanted to pay their court ordered child
support, but lacked the economic capacity to do so. DHR’s Office of
Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) has partnered with a other
government and community agencies to develop a comprehensive network
of services targeting this group.
To obtain further information, contact your local Office of Child
Support Enforcement, call 1-888-4FATHER or email us at Fatherhood
