Which state do you follow for child support laws if your child lives in another state?

Depends on who files first. Properly, the state where the custodial parent moves with the children does not have long arm jurisdiction over the other parent, if that parent does not live in the same state, as long as that parent does not accept service for jurisdiction. The obligor parent can request their state take jurisdiction. The original home state no longer has jurisdiction after 6 months of the move, or the last appearance in court addressing these issues, whichever is later. Custody and access rights go to the state of residence of the children.

Can you get child support if the father is a citizen of another country?
If you have custody of the child(ren), and if the father lives in the US, then yes, you can get child support even if he's not a US citizen. If he was ordered by the courts to pay child support and refuses to pay, you can sue him for non payment. They may even order (or you can request) the child support payments to go through the Child Support Enforcement Agency, who will then forward the payments to you. If he fails to pay, then they will take legal action on your behalf. But if he lives in another country, then it may be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to force him to pay the child support unless he lives in a country which signed the Hague Treaty, which provides enforcement for foreigners to pay child support.
