that the person or a male minor referred to in division (B) of section 3109.19 of the Revised Code is the father of a child or from a child support order under which the person or
male minor is the obligor. Except as otherwise provided in this section, the person shall file the motion in
the division of the court of common pleas of the county in which the original judgment,
