As far as I know, child support is nationwide and can be collected from any state no matter where one or the other party live. Get a hold of the Friend of the Court in the city that they live and they will give you the details of what you need to do to start getting your child support. As long as you have an address for who you need to get your child support from, the court system will take over and make sure you get what you are entitled to. Good Luck.

Not that I am aware of, but Tennessee can certainly ask for assistance from California for a person who is not making support payments and issue a warrant for their arrest with assistance of California for extraditing them back to Tennessee. We are eventually looking at a Felony.
California has some pretty intensive laws on support, and will jail either a man or woman for failure to meet their obligations.

Yes, there are interstate child support enforcement laws in place that allow someone owed child support to pursue the obligor in any of the fifty states.
The question becomes whether it is worth the effort for the original state to pursue the obligor in another state. If a state child support agency is involved in collecting the support owed, chances are they will contact California's enforcement agency (DCSS) which will then pursue enforcement against the obligor.

Child support is a federal thing. It doesn't matter what the case is for, once a verdict is decreed, it has to be carried out. It isn't just the state, judges are there to interpret federal law as pertains to that case. It's federal judgement.

Yes, contact your local DA. District Attorney's Office, I did in TX and collected from SD. It helps if you have information on the exact where abouts of the person and a previous court order. Once you get started keep calling to check on the status of the case, they want to get you off their backs asap.

It's too bad he's not getting Social Security benefits; his benefits could be garnished. However, it would have to be Friend of the Court (or whatever your county calls it) who initiates the action. Social Security would not be able to tell you his location.

Why should it even matter? If it's your child there is absolutely NO excuse to not pay. If the government steps in to force you to pay your obligation, than that is beyond pathetic.
