No. They just don't enforce court ordered visitation at the same level, though denial of access to a father is far more damaging to the child and society in general.

How does a Canadian mother get child support from an American father?

A US state civil court cannot enforce a child support order in another country.

Can the state come after the father for child support when the mother applies for Welfare even though they have shared custody and equal time spent with child?

The State can enforce an existing order. If there is no order, the State can issue one or ask the courts to do so. However, you have a right to contest either action.


How can you get the father to pay child support if he lives in a different state?

There is a sub-system so to speak, within each state's child support agency. It is an interstate office. When parents reside in different states, support can still be obtained for the child(ren). The state where the absent parent resides will be petitioned by the state where the custodial parent resides. Once this happens, the state of the absent parent will accept (usually) the responsibility of enforcing the child support order. This entails motions in court, driver's license suspension, house liens, bank account withdrawal, and any other means deemed legal by the state.


Can a mother or father file for child support in two different states if the child lives in one?

Only one venue may have jurisdiction over a child support matter at any one time. (However, multiple States may enforce an existing order.) The case is typically filed in the State where the child currently resides.


If you live in Missouri and the pregnant mother of your unborn child moved to California from Missouri can you sign over rights and not pay child support?

Nothing can be done until the child is born and paternity is established. If the male is not willing to acknowledge he is the father a paternity test will be necessary, before any litigation pertaining to child support, custody, visitation rights or the relinquishment of parental rights is possible. However, the issue of the biological mother moving to another state is not necessarily relevant; all states honor and enforce child support and/or visitation orders issued in another state.

Can two states enforce the same child support order?

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.See related link for an informative handbook.
