Q: i live in Puerto Rico and owe child support in michigan will michigan have me extradited from Puerto Rico ?
if it's a felony child support warrant
A: Hello and thank you for using JUSTIA. A felony warrent can be executed in Puerto Rico if Michigan files a request thus in theory yes you can be extradited. Your best bet is to hire an Attorney in Michigan and have the case cleared up. You may be able to set up a payment plan and avoid extradiction.

A: A court may and can order a warrant for you arrest because of an outstanding child support debt. This warrant can be executed in any of the 50 states or US territories. There are internet services and search engines where you can check if there's a warrant for your arrest in the state of Michigan. The best approach is to negotiate a payment plan with the Michigan child Support agency through and attorney from that state. You can also seek information through their website to check your options.
