Memphis, TN asked in Child Custody and Child Support for Tennessee

Q: How do I go by updating a custody/child support order? Neither I nor my kids father lives in the states we got the orde.

I live in Tennessee, I don't know where he lives because he won't tell me. The order was done in Mississippi and he lived in Hawaii at the time because he's in the Marines.

A: In Tennessee, every judicial district has a local district attorney, and almost every district attorney has a section of their office devoted to the collection of child support. Consult with the local child support office in your district to determine how to proceed- it's a free service. If your ex is still in the Military, he can be located.
