Only one venue may have jurisdiction over a child support matter at any one time. (However, multiple States may enforce an existing order.) The case is typically filed in the State where the child currently resides.

∙ 13y agoThe case should originate in the State where the child lives. Only one order can be operative at any one time. However, a child support order may be registered in any other State for purposes of enforcement. There is no law prohibiting more than one State from enforcing a child support order.

∙ 8y agoThere can be situations where two different states can collect child support from a parent that has not kept up their child support payments. Such a situation could entail the following example. If child support was not made by a person living in the same state as the child, that state can of course collect by garnishing funds out of a paycheck. If there was money due from another instance and not paid, then two states must collect current and back payments.

Can a mother get full custody if she is unemployed and still living with her parent who supports them all and the father has court ordered child support that he does not pay?
The mother must file a motion for contempt for the father's failure to pay his court ordered child support. The court will address that issue before hearing testimony for a change of custody, which will require compelling evidence on the part of the mother.
Who has custody when both of the parents names are on the birth certificate?
Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Once paternity is established in court, the father can request visitations or custody through the court. If the mother retains physical custody she can request that the court issue a child support order. If the father gets physical custody he can request a child support order.

Unwed couple live different states mother in Rhode Island and father in Washington no longer amicably communicate what rights will father have?
I just went through this myself. I am mother in MT. Father in TN. Father has not seen son since he was 5 months old. Now he is 12. Father still has full rights to my son, even after all this time. Do you know why? He is finally current on Child Support. He has the right to see my son on his original visitation days that were set 12 years ago. The only way to change this is to take him back to court.
If you are not the father after signning the birth certificate do you have to continue to pay child support?
This question is a complicated one in that the laws of paternity do not necessarily establish the biological father as the father for child support purposes but rather look to the circumstances surrounding the case. Your husband is what is known as a presumed father, which is essentially a man that was married to the mother when the child was born, legally agreed to be the father of his wife's child (by signing the birth certificate, and has acted and behaved as the child's father. You cannot receive child support from both the presumed father (if he is still your husband) and the biological father (assuming he admits to being the father) and a court would likely determine your husband to be the father for purposes of child support.
Is it legal for a mother to collect child support while the father is living with her and the child?
It depends on the state. In most states the father would still be required to pay child support, even though he is living with the mother and the child. However, if the father was financially supporting the mother and child, it's likely that the courts would suspend the child support order.

In most states, if you were married to the mother of the child at the time of the birth of the child you are automatically assumed by the courts to be the father. Also, if you were unmarried at the time of the child's birth but the mother listed you as the father, you can be sued for child support unless you request a paternity test from the court.
