If you intend to use the services of DHS, then you should go through Oklahoma. If you want to use an attorney, it will probably be easier to hire a Georgia attorney, since that is where your ex lives and works.

DHS will take more time to initiate collection proceedings, but they only charge a small administrative fee to open a file. An attorney will charge you an hourly fee or take a percentage of any recovery.
