What all states extradite for child support?

Answer 1

All states will extradite for child support depending on the amount owed. Basically, if it's worth it for the state to do it they will. If it costs more to have you extradited than what you owe you are generally safe.

Added: Unless it amounts to a criminal warrant, there is no extradition for violation of child support orders - which is an order of the CIVIL court. HOWEVER - there are cooperative agreements in place among all states to enforce each others child support orders. Whatever state you happen to be in will enforce the original order just as if it was ordered by that state's court. You can't get away from it.

Answer 2

It sounds to me like once again, the federal government is nosing around in state business, making its own laws concerning what they think the states should do by holding welfare payments? over the state's heads.

Answer 3

Alimony is the amount of monetary support granted to an ex-spouse by the court that issued the divorce decree. Divorces are conducted under the provisions of CIVIL law, not criminal law. You cannot be extradited from another state due to non-payment.

Answer 4

Since being over $5000 in arrears in child support is a federal felony, most every state would need to extradite. It's unfortunate they don't do the same for denial of visitation.

Answer 5

Every state must in accordance with federal regulations in order to receive federal matching funds.

Answer 6

Child support issues are a CIVIL matter, not a criminal matter. The US will not extradite for civil matters.
