Legal Question in Family Law in Washington

Re: Child Support Jurisdiction for a WA case in another state

It seems odd because jurisdiction over child support usually arises because the child now resides in New Jersey or there is a problem collecing child support requiring enforcement in New Jersey. This could be a problem if New Jersey requires the payment of more child support than the state of Washington.

Call me if you like.

If your ex actually takes any action in New Jersey, get a good NJ divorce lawyer.

Re: Child Support Jurisdiction for a WA case in another state

The Interstate Family Support Act would allow support for modification purposes to be moved to the state where the child is living if neither parent was still living in the state where the child support was established was no longer the residence of any party (parents or child). For enforcement actions (not modification) it can be registered and enforced anywhere the obligor parent is residing.
