What ChildFirst helps with

File with the clerk, only if you must

Most family court tasks are a package of forms, not one PDF. ChildFirst asks the confusing parts in plain words, completes the public self-help forms from your answers, and lays out every step, after first showing you how to agree outside court.

Start for your kids

Who it is for

  • Change child support (forms completed from your answers)
  • Change parenting time or visitation (forms completed from your answers)
  • Guidance and official form links for: custody changes, parenting plans, the financial affidavit, contempt, divorce with or without children, legitimation, and answering a complaint

What you get

  • A plain-language interview whose answers go on the court form (child support and parenting time today)
  • Official Rockdale County forms filled in where they are mapped, and a metro Atlanta clerk directory
  • The full package in order, with a filing checklist
  • A supplement page when your situation does not fit the standard form
  • A judge packet (summary plus detail) if filing cannot be avoided

How it works

  1. 1Try the better path. Agree outside court, or bring in a mediator, before filing.
  2. 2Answer in plain words. Your facts fill in the public clerk forms.
  3. 3You file. Upload the named PDFs through Odyssey eFileGA or PeachCourt from your own account. ChildFirst does not e-file for you.

ChildFirst is not a law firm and does not represent either parent. You file pro se and are responsible for every statement. Unusual cases may still need a lawyer.
