FAQ

If the parent has enough contact with Massachusetts (if the child was conceived here, the parent paying support lived with the child here or sent the child to live here), we may be able to ask a Massachusetts court to order child support payments even though the other parent doesn't live here.

Some of the enforcement methods available in Massachusetts include: Wage Garnishment: If a parent fails to make child support payments, the DOR can garnish wages directly from their employer. This ensures that a portion of the parent's income is automatically allocated to child support.

If you mean the custodial parent and child live in another state from the noncustodial parent, yes, you can. Make an appointment at your local state child support enforcement office. They will tell you what information to bring with you to the appointment. They will do all the filing.

An easy way to enforce child support orders when the other parent is out of state is to garnish wages. You can have the courts send a garnishment order directly to the other parent's employer, and the child support will come straight out of their paycheck.

Under the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA), sometimes called “Interstate Action,”states must help you find your ex for missing child support. This act also prevents multiple states from ordering child support and helps you find the other parent if they move away.

On April 2, 2020, the Arkansas Supreme Court issues their opinion titled In Re Implementation of the Revised Administrative Order No. 10. The new order shifts away from basing all child support obligations solely on the non-custodial parent's income and instead is based on an “income-sharing” model.

Pursuant to UIFSA, a state may initiate a child support order when the parents are in different states only if the state has jurisdiction over the person who is responsible for paying support. If the payor lives in the state, the state has jurisdiction.
