Interstate Child Support

Interstate child support refers to the legal processes involved when parents who live in different states need to handle financial support for their children. When one parent has custody in one state and the other parent resides in another, the interstate child support system ensures that support obligations are recognized and enforced across state lines. This is facilitated by federal laws and agreements between states, which streamline the process of establishing, modifying, and collecting child support, ensuring that children receive the financial support they need regardless of where their parents live.
