Question:

How do I collect child support from a parent who lives out-of-state?

Answer:

If you’re here, you might have questions about where to file if your child’s parent does not live in New Jersey. If you’re living in New Jersey with your child or children and you’re seeking child support to be paid, you would file in New Jersey against your former spouse or partner to obtain child support.Out-of-State Child SupportThe New Jersey courts have jurisdiction whether or not your spouse or former partner is located in New Jersey because they have jurisdiction over the child. Surely, you have to locate and find where your spouse is so they have proper service, but New Jersey can and will exercise jurisdiction to make sure that child support is collected on behalf of your child or children.
