What are a client’s options when seeking to enforce a child support order in a situation where the payor spouse has moved to another state?

What will be an ideal response?


The custodial parent can seek enforcement of an existing support order in a different state, since that state must recognize the continuing exclusive jurisdiction of the original court. The IV-D agency there can use the enforcement mechanism available:
• Wage garnishment, or required cash bond;
• Bad credit report;
• Interception of state and federal tax refunds;
• Denial of a U.S. passport;
• Denial or revocation of professional or driver’s license;
• Writ of execution and liens or attachments; and,
• Criminal prosecution or civil contempt.
