(a) DCS already has an open case for you which was opened at the request of another state; or

(b) Neither the custodial parent nor the noncustodial parent reside, work, or own any assets in the state of Washington.

(3) If you are a custodial parent residing in a foreign reciprocating country (FRC), either you or the child support agency of your country may request intergovernmental child support services from DCS. As provided under 42 U.S.C. 654 (32)(C):

(a) No formal application for services is required; and

(b) DCS does not assess costs against either the FRC or the custodial parent.
