What makes a case an interstate case?

If the possible father lives in another state and has never been to Wisconsin to visit, live, vacation, etc., the State of Wisconsin does not have jurisdiction and an interstate case must be started. If the possible father has enough contact with Wisconsin to justify starting a case here, we will start a case. Whether there has been enough contact with Wisconsin is a legal decision that is made by our staff before the case is filed.
