There is a sub-system so to speak, within each state's child support agency. It is an interstate office. When parents reside in different states, support can still be obtained for the child(ren). The state where the absent parent resides will be petitioned by the state where the custodial parent resides. Once this happens, the state of the absent parent will accept (usually) the responsibility of enforcing the child support order. This entails motions in court, driver's license suspension, house liens, bank account withdrawal, and any other means deemed legal by the state.

Go to your local child support office. The local office will register the case and contact the other country where the non-custodial parent lives to enforce the child support. However, it the non-custodial parent lives in a country that the United States does not have reciprocity with, it will be nearly impossible to obtain child support.

Child support issues are a civil matter not a criminal one and therefore neither state nor federal authorities can enforce support orders outside of U.S. jurisdiction.

I suggest that you contact your State's child support agency. When you get an interview with them, bring all the papers relating to your child support: birth certificates, acknowledgments of paternity, court orders, payment records, etc. Be polite but persistent. Good luck!

Every child has the legal right to receive financial support from his or her parents, whether the parents are separated, divorced, or were never married -- even when they live in different states or countries. The responsibility to support a child does not end at the state line. Child support keeps many families from needing public assistance. Child support can also help families leave public assistance. Combined with a parent's wages, child support can make a family self-sufficient. The following information will help you ensure that your child has both parents to look to for support, no matter where the other parent lives ...

Your plan would not find support in your court system. Once paternity has been established the father has the responsibility to pay child support and the right to petition for visitations.

The state where the case originated if the father is the one who moved.
