Continuing jurisdiction to enforce child support order
When a court in Missouri has made a child support order, it can ask a court in another state to help enforce that order. This works if the Missouri order is still the main order and has not been changed by another state's court. Missouri courts can also help enforce child support orders when asked by another state.
