What to Do if the Other Parent Moves Out of State
What to Do if the Other Parent Moves Out of State — plain‑English guide. This article explains how courts handle this issue, what documents to gather, common pitfalls, and practical steps to keep your support orders accurate and enforceable.
Register the order in the new state for enforcement; confirm which state keeps jurisdiction for modification under UIFSA.
Keep paying through the SDU; update employer info so withholding follows quickly.
If schedules change, file coordinated custody/support modifications to reflect travel and overnights.
Bottom line. Courts work from documents and predictable processes. If you prepare cleanly, meet deadlines, and route payments through official channels, you’ll get reliable results faster with fewer surprises.
