I believe the Divorce laws in the US should be reformed. One, No Fault Divorce does not work. It should be repealed. It
helps no one but the person seeking divorce and is immoral to everyone else. The children and the families on both sides.
However, the non-custodial parent, the children and the relatives of the children, and society will pay in any event. That’s a fact, 54% divorce rate. Divorce rate was far less before 1984-No Fault. Second, the only contract for children should be marriage. Not the other way around or no contract at all. 40 % of all children born in US are out of wedlock.
This number is on the rise. Domestic Law is it’s own accident on society, individuals and the public at large. Many
women are playing the life strategy created by domestic law in contradiction of morality and God. What has replaced morality are cliches like “I love him but I am not in love with him”, “I was too young”, “She can find work”, etc. All these children without their real families compliments US DOMESTIC LAW. A burden to society and engineered by Judges and
Attorneys with two simple perversions. No fault divorce and the contract for children. Keep up the good work.

I would definately see a lawyer about this one. Personally I would be trying to organise this all before you go overseas. In the past my husband and I have had to deal with courts overseas and its not easy!

Which ever country you go to (if they are apart of the Hauge Convention), can collect the child support for the country the child resides in. You can find a list on the internet.

Goodluck!

You need to contact your lawyer to set all of this up and protect your rights. Also if you don't have your passport, get it .....child support division can delay its process or even have it denied.. Your EX and the courts need to be aware of your intentions and your lawyer should be able to do all of this.

Child Support Question and moving overseas…?
I am divorced with a 7 year old son. I am currently paying child support and have custody of my child although it is not "joint" custody. I do have shared legal custody. I was offered a position overseas. However, I was in a high conflict divorce and the child's mother and I communicate mostly through attorneys unless it is for routine matters. What steps need to be taken if I decide to take a position overseas for one year?

My concerns:

*I will continue to pay child support. I do not want to lose custody rights once I am overseas.

*I want access to my children when I return. I have a court ordered temporary custody arrangement in place at this time.

*Should I change custody arrangements or negotiate child support while overseas and keep the current arrangement?

Thanks..
