 Only certain jurisdictions have agreed to the ''Interjurisdictional Support Orders Act'' process. If the place where the other parent lives hasn't made an agreement with British Columbia about child support orders, someone who wants to get a child support order will normally have to start a court proceeding in the place where the other parent lives.

-The countries that will cooperate with a proceeding under the ''[[Interjurisdictional Support Orders Act]]'' are: South Africa, Zimbabwe, Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Gibraltar, Norway, the Slovak Republic, the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland, the United States of America and its protectorates, the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, and Barbados and its dependencies.
