Can child support be enforced internationally?

Yes, child support can be enforced internationally. In Wisconsin, the International Parental Kidnapping Crime Act that was passed in 1993 allows for international child custody and support enforcement. This act requires the state to honor and enforce court orders issued by foreign countries related to child custody and support. The Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement of Support Act (URESA) is another federal law that allows for the enforcement of international child support orders and works with other laws like The Hague Convention on International Child Abduction. International child support orders can be enforced in Wisconsin through the Office of Child Support. This includes cases where a parent lives in another country and is responsible for providing support for their child. Once an international child support order is received, Wisconsin can then seek to collect payment from the paying parent. This can include garnishing wages, seizing assets, tax refunds, bank accounts, and even lottery winnings. The Office of Child Support works with the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement in order to ensure international child support orders are enforced. They also work with foreign countries to establish, enforce, and modify international child support orders. This includes working with foreign governments to ensure that payments are collected and sent in a timely manner. In summary, child support can be enforced internationally in Wisconsin. Both federal and state laws allow for the enforcement of international child support orders. Additionally, the Office of Child Support works with foreign countries to ensure that orders are established, enforced, and modified.
