Child Support Enforcement Process:
Working With Other States
When custodial and noncustodial parents live in
different states, the Department of Revenue works with
child support offices in other states to establish and
enforce support. We must allow the other state's child
support enforcement office and court system to process
the case within their time frames.
Recent state and federal legislation (Uniform Interstate
Family Support Act) helps states pursue enforcement of
child support orders across state lines in a uniform
fashion. It will simplify and speedup the processing of
interstate child support cases.
