Child support? Then it's going to be nationwide. If you get pulled over for speeding,etc, they will run your license. It will come up that you have bench warrant for cs in whatever state. They can force a return to that state, where either you pay or you sit in jail for a set amount of time, then they release you, you get a cleared record and you actually go out find a job. If you don't have one, get one and pay your child support. If you are neglecting to pay to support your children, you're an idiot anyways, which is why you now have a bench warrant. Good luck.
