Enforcing a child support order outside the United States may be possible, depending on the country where the obligor parent currently resides. However, the parent who wants to seek enforcement of a child support order outside the country must have a valid order issued by a court in the United States.
Nationally, the average monthly child support payment is around $721. Your payment may be more or less than the average child support payment in the U.S. due to your income and other factors. Plus, every state has unique laws and economic conditions that influence child support average payments.
Claims for child support payments need to be assessed by the relevant child support agency where the child is resident. Australia and the United States have a bilateral agreement to enforce child support payments for parents resident in their country when the child is abroad.
