In your situation as a presumed minor needing child support, you need your custodial parent to file a petition for child support on your behalf in the county and state where the marital dissolution petition of your parents was filed.

That county and state would have jurisdiction over the issue that you are writing about. If your county of residence has a legal aid program, you might consider contacting it for assistance. If your custodial parent does not want to assist you in the child support issue, you should consult with an attorney to assist you.
