Can a father petition to pay child support if he lives in Mississippi and she lives in Georgia?

Yes, though your first challenge will be establishing paternity. If this is already done, than you can file for a voluntary order in your state. However, if it has not been done, and she has lived outside Mississippi for more than six month, than you will need to file in Georgia, which will give Georgia jurisdiction over child support. Now, you may prefer that in addressing the differences in child support in each state. In Mississippi, child support runs until age 21. Contact Child Support Enforcement for help in establishing the order. See the link below on how to prepare.
Establishing child support will not grant you any rights to see the child. That is a separate issue and will require an attorney. However, if the mother is cooperative, a Certified Mediator can prepare an order, which you can file with the court. You will set a hearing date at which time you both swear to the content of the document.
Since you will be dealing with long distance visitation, you will want any orders to be clearly defined and detailed.
