If you work child support long enough you<br />
will encounter cases with parents and minor<br />
children living in and being citizens of foreign<br />
countries. When the NCP resides in your<br />
jurisdiction it may fall to your court to either<br />
establish an order of paternity and/or order for<br />
support, or to register a foreign support order for purposes of enforcement or modification. The<br />
general methods of doing so remain the same when dealing with foreign parties, but you will<br />
encounter all sorts of additional “issues”, including document interpretation, language barriers,<br />
time zone issues (email does wonders in that regard), differing methods of obtaining service of<br />
process, currency conversion issues and generalized issues relating to differing levels of social<br />
services found in other countries. For example, in much of Europe single parents automatically<br />
qualify for government cash benefits, which allows a single parent not to have to work. Free<br />
universal health insurance is also the norm in many other nations (lucky them!).<br />
