Registering Child Support or Custody Orders from Another State or Country
The Lake County Domestic Relations Court can register orders issued outside the state of Ohio, whether they are from another state or another country. Once registered, the Court has jurisdiction to enforce and modify these orders. Parties and their minor children must meet certain residency requirements to register their orders.
