If your husband still lives in Florida the Florida court will normally continue to have jurisdiction over the case and hear any... View More

No. There should be only one support order. If the WA order was entered first, that order is the controlling order. Oregon may be enforcing that WA order, but it should not enter a new order unless the WA order has expired or is no longer effective.

Putting people in jail for not paying child support is not used much if at all any more. There are better ways to get compliance.

If your mediation is through the court system rather than through a private mediator, the mediator may only be authorized to... View More
