Does The Child Support Order Remain Valid Or Is Cancelled If The Paying Parent Is Deported?
Yes, the child support order remains valid even after the paying parent is deported to their home country from the US. However, although the deported parent is still under the obligation to pay child support, the deportation of the paying parent makes it harder for the order to be enforced on the paying parent in their home country.
The courts and state governments in the US offer resources to help child support enforcement for families dealing with undocumented parents after being deported from the country.
The Office of Child Support And Enforcement (OCSE) is the authority in the US that provides various mechanisms for enforcing child support orders internationally.
Can child support orders of the United States be enforced in another country?
Yes, child support orders of the United States can be enforced in another country and this depends on the country where the parent who is obligated to pay the child support currently resides.
However, it is essential for the parent who is seeking to enforce the child support order outside the US to be obligated on his/her deported spouse, the parent seeking the child support must have a valid order issued by the court in the United States for doing so.
