How can I receive child support from a parent living in another state?

If you are a custodial parent in Nebraska living with a child, you may be able to receive child support from a parent living in another state. This process is called interstate child support. The first step is filing an application with the Nebraska Child Support Enforcement Program. In Nebraska, there are two types of applications for interstate child support: the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA) Application and the Non-UIFSA Application. If you are not sure which one to use, your county Child Support Office can help. Once you have filed your application with the Nebraska Child Support Enforcement Program, they will contact the other state’s child support office to open the interstate case. The other state will then locate the non-custodial parent and establish paternity and a child support order. Finally, Nebraska will enforce the out-of-state order. This means they will identify creditors, collect and distribute payments, suspend drivers and professional licenses, and refer the case for prosecution if payments are not made. Interstate child support can be a complicated process, so it is important that you get help from a knowledgeable attorney or your county Child Support Office. They can help make sure that everything is done correctly and that all paperwork is filed properly.
