First, don't piggyback your question onto someone else's thread. It makes it harder for us to find and answer your question. I've asked that your question be moved to its own thread.

Second, you need to go to the courthouse and explain that you were never served with divorce papers. If a default divorce was granted, you should be able to file an appeal based on improper service. I'm not positive about Georgia but Wisconsin allows publication as service - if I want to sue someone and cannot locate them, I can publish the summons in the paper and that qualifies as service.

Do you know the status of the divorce at this point?

Was a hearing held? Was any orders issued as a result of the hearing? Was your ex aware of how to contact you?

Thanks, divorce granted she cheated so I wanted it, however it was finalized without me knowing a hearing was coming up. Just need to know steps to address my interests for visitation, child support, and property.

What does the decree say about those issues?

[Fr_Chuck]

You will need to get a copy of the current divorce, and child support and child visit agreements can be done at the same time a divorce is done, but are additions to it,

So find out what is started in the current file

In GA child support is based on earnings from both parents, and there is a 20 plus page form that is submitted to the court for them to use to determine what support is.
So both you and ex will have to submit one.

If she filed and lied about now knowing where you are located, you can merely file a motion to admend the support and the custody order

Also in GA parents of children in divorce are required to attend a class about parenting prior to be granted custody or visits

[ScottGem]

You file a motion with the court that issued the final decree. Ask that the decree be vacated on the grounds of improper service since you received no notification of the hearing.
