Overview

When a state does not have jurisdiction to proceed, the case will become a two-state case.  All of the action will take place in the responding state where the responding state has jurisdiction to issue or enforce a child support order.  The Wyoming Child Support Program (CSP) is required to provide the same IV-D services for incoming intergovernmental cases as it does for intrastate cases.
