Recovering Unpaid Child Support

Summary

If your ex-partner has moved to the USA and owes child support, you can contact the Child Maintenance Service (CMS) in the UK for advice on recovering arrears. Legal advice on international recovery of child support may also be beneficial.

I’m from uk, my abusive ex partner suddenly stopped paying child support and disappeared when our son was 10years old. I recently found out that he had moved to usa and married someone within 6 months of meeting them when he left ,I don’t believe that he declared our son to uscis and he still owes me child support for our son from him being mum 10 years of age, is there anything I can do about it even though our son is an adult now?

- Contact the Child Maintenance Service (CMS) for advice on recovering arrears.
- Seek legal advice on international recovery of child support, as your ex is in the USA.
Would you like information on how to contact the CMS?
