Child Support Jurisdiction Guidance
Summary
Child support cases can involve multiple jurisdictions, such as Ohio and Puerto Rico. If you receive documents from Puerto Rico, they can request enforcement in Ohio. Its crucial to respond to these documents promptly, considering both Ohio and Puerto Rican laws. Consulting an attorney familiar with interstate child support cases is advisable. If paternity is in question, you may request a DNA test. If you missed a court date and were not properly served, contact the court and consider filing a motion to contest the determination. Legal aid organizations can provide assistance if needed.Full Conversation
