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

Moving out of state when a parent is receiving child support can cause complications depending on the circumstances. In Nebraska, if the custodial parent (the parent receiving the child support) moves out of state, the noncustodial parent (the parent paying the child support) who lives in Nebraska is still responsible for paying the amount of child support ordered in the original support agreement. If the custodial parent moves to another state with a different court system, the custodial parent must file a motion for a new court order in the state they have moved to. Once the custodial parent has moved to a new state and requested a new court order, they may be eligible to receive different types of child support. This is because each state has different laws and regulations, so the amount of money that a parent is entitled to receive can vary from state to state. A parent should also keep in mind that if they move to a different state with a different court system, they may need to hire a lawyer in their new state. It is important for a parent to remember that they should always abide by the original court order for child support until a new court order is in place. If a parent is found to not be paying the amount of child support ordered, they can be held in contempt. If you are a parent who has received an out-of-state order for child support or are facing this situation, it is important to contact an experienced attorney in the state you are residing in.
