  • No. I think it has to be in the state where the offense happened.

  • Just pay your bills. If you are a deadbeat dad remember you can have you tax returns garnished by the state/feds for lack of CS payments.

  • Just read what the case was about. In that case, it would probably depend on state laws. If MD had a different law regarding the matter and it was still going on then yes they could probably retry.
