When One or Both Parents Live in Another State, Country or Tribal Land
Most case management services are available locally. Parents may apply for child support services from their local child support agency regardless of where the other parent lives or where their order is from.
Actions taken outside of Wisconsin might take longer than actions taken in Wisconsin. Other states might charge fees for interjurisdictional cases.
When the child, the mother, and the father leave Wisconsin, Wisconsin has no legal jurisdiction to establish or change a support order. However, the Wisconsin Child Support program may continue provide services to the parents.
If one or both parents live outside of Wisconsin, see the following for more information:
- Parent lives in another state
- Parent lives in another country
- Parent lives on tribal lands
