- Q. Will the court keep a child support case in a different state even if the baby and mother reside in NY?
- A: Agreed, but you don't need to hire an attorney to have him served in Florida, just hire a process server.
- Q. Can I move back to another state with my daughter while separated from my husband?
- A: Yes, you can move because he is not staying in Chicago where you lived as a couple with your child. Once you are there you should file for custody and a divorce.
