What happens if a parent receiving child support moves out of state?

If a parent receiving child support moves out of state, they must provide the other parent with their new address. The other parent must report this change of address to the local child support agency in the state the receiving parent has moved to. Usually, the new state will take the case and enforce the current child support order. The receiving parent must also contact their local child support agency and give them their new address and contact information. This will help ensure that child support payments will continue to be sent to their new address. In order for California to enforce the order, the receiving parent must register their case with the California court. This will allow the court to keep track of the case and enforce the order if the paying parent fails to make the payments. The paying parent must also provide the court with their current address and contact information. If the receiving parent moves to a state that is not a member of the Interstate Compact, the paying parent will need to turn to the court in their home state to have the support order enforced. In any case, regardless of the state to which the receiving parent moves, the child support obligation is a legal contract and will stay in effect until the terms of the agreement are fulfilled.
