Hello I have a quick question I live out of State and i’m looking to see how I can move forward with putting the other parent on child support since he is not supporting His child I’m doing most of everything and I have been for years now and I’m needing some assistance now so how does it work when one parent lives in Virginia for example and me and my daughter live in North Carolina?
North Carolina will have jurisdiction over a child support issue since your child lives in North Carolina. North Carolina courts can likely get personal jurisdiction over the other parent that lives out of state.
You can go to your county’s child support enforcement (CSE) agency and they can help you establish and obtain child support.
