More details to this question:
My daughter's father wanted to move her out of state with him but I don't consent (Currently joint custody in Wisconsin both parents have to consent before moving a child out of state). He is not currently paying child support and I believe decided to move anyways as he is no longer at his last known address. I do not have a forwarding address and he will not provide anything as I want it to have him served for child support. What happens if the sheriff continues to attempt to serve him but can't?

Certain motions must be personally served, such as contempt and order to show cause hearings. General motions may be mailed. Mail the motion for support out to his last known address with an affidavit of mailing. While I can't promise you it holds up in court, it may, as there is no technical legal requirement for a general motion for support to be personally served.
