I do not yet have a support order, and the prospective payor lives in another county or state. How do I proceed?
If you continue to live in the county in which the marital residence was maintained, you can still file for support in the county in which you reside. Otherwise, you can go to the county or state in which the defendant currently resides and file a complaint against the potential payor. If that is not practical, or if you no longer reside in the county of the marital residence, you may proceed under the provisions of the Revised Uniform Interstate Family Support Act or the Intrastate Family Support Act. The law in this area is complex and you will need to consult your attorney concerning your particular circumstances. Contact my office to schedule your complimentary 30 minute consultation during which you will learn how I can help you now. Eric C.
