Hey everyone, I’ve been hearing some talk about states that don’t enforce child support. Can anyone clarify which states this applies to? I’m just trying to understand how it all works. Thanks!
Most states do enforce child support, but some might have more lenient enforcement. Generally, states like Nevada and Wyoming have been known for less strict enforcement.

Interesting! So, it’s not that they don’t enforce it at all, just not as strictly?

Exactly! They might have mechanisms in place, but enforcement can vary significantly.
It’s worth noting that enforcement can also depend on individual cases. Sometimes it’s more about the ability to pay.

That makes sense. So, it can be pretty situation-dependent.
Definitely check with local laws or a family law attorney. They can give you detailed info based on your situation.

Great idea! I’ll reach out to someone who can provide more specific guidance.
Also, remember that even if enforcement is lax, it’s still important to try to establish support for the kids’ sake.

Absolutely! The kids’ well-being is the priority here. Thanks for the reminder!
Laws change, so it’s good to stay updated on any shifts in child support enforcement in your state.
