Isn't there a Federal registry of child support orders? If so, you cannot outrun the judgement that you owe child support. Pay up.

AnswerYes. When there is more than one state involved there can only be one valid child support order. Interstate income withholding can be used to enforce a child support order in another jurisdiction if the obligor's employer is known. The custodial parent must initiate a case with local child support enforcement and a caseworker will assist.

The Child Support Enforcement Program is a federal-state partnership whose mission is to collect child support since children who are not supported by parents suffer and must often be supported by tax payers. Part of the services provided by the CSE is a state parent locator service that will check tax records, law enforcement agencies, motor vehicle records, etc., for the location of a hard to find parent. All state child support agencies are required to enforce child support orders as vigorously for children living in other states as for children living in state although it may be more difficult and take longer.

The court that issued the order has jurisdiction but moving can complicate the situation. You should consult with an attorney or some other child support enforcement specialist. Courts will enforce child support orders from other states however, with reduced staff, it may be difficult to find that kind of support.
