A divorce judgment involving custody and support will be
enforced across state lines. There is reciprocity between all 50 states.
However, there is a process to make this happen. An attorney can aide you in
registering your judgment in Missouri. An copy will need to be
acquired. There are however requirements that must be met and you can discuss
those with an attorney. You must have adequate contact with the state of
Missouri. Additionally, some very proactive clients ask if you can do
this as a sort of housekeeping matter prior to any real issues arising. You
can. However, most clients want to file an action immediately after registering
the judgment, which is called a "foreign judgment". This might lead
you to wonder if you need an attorney in the state of the divorce for the
registration of the judgment and a separate one in Missouri for the custody or support matter.
You do not. Despite the fact that the judgment is from another state, Missouri
law is being practiced in order to bring it under the jurisdiction of the
Missouri Courts. Bottom Line: Find an attorney in Missouri and this is usually a short and relatively inexpensive process. |
