If a Parent Lives in Another Country
If a parent is in the military and is stationed overseas, the Child Support program generally handles the case as if that parent lived in another state. However, the Service Members' Civil Relief Act may delay some actions for service members on active duty.
The United States and Wisconsin have Child Support program agreements with other countries to help with establishing legal fatherhood (paternity) and support orders, and enforcing support orders. These countries are:
- Australia
- Austria
- Canada
- Czech Republic
- El Salvador
- Finland
- France
- Germany
- Hungary
- Ireland
- Israel
- Netherlands
- Norway
- Poland
- Portugal
- Slovak Republic
- Sweden
- Switzerland
- United Kingdom (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, & Wales)
