Intergovernmental Child Support Agreements

Intergovernmental Child Support Agreements are arrangements between different states or countries to ensure that child support payments are enforced across borders. When one parent lives in a different jurisdiction from the other, these agreements help establish, collect, and distribute financial support for the child. They aim to simplify the process, ensuring that custodial parents receive the financial assistance they are owed, regardless of where the non-custodial parent resides. This collaboration between jurisdictions helps uphold the best interests of the child and promotes fair and consistent child support practices.
