Re: child support jurisdiction

CHildren do not move. Parent and children move. Jurisdiction for child support depends on the legal residence. For instance, if the parent and the child legally move to New Hampshire and reside there for about 6 months, then child related issues can and should be transferred to New Hampshire.

I suspect however, that you are asking another question. If you are let me know.
