Child Maintenance/Support
« on: April 06, 2014, 08:41:02 PM »
Can anyone shed some light on how child maintenance works when it's between the US and UK? My children (dual citizens) and I will be hopefully moving back to the US (Tennessee) at some point. My ex will be remaining in the UK. He currently pays the flat rate of maintenance for our children (£7/week) because he is in receipt of Employment and Support Allowance (income-based).

We have an informal agreement at the moment because it's pretty straightforward, but I'm wondering how moving will change things. Do I need to file for a formal agreement with the US child support agency? Any idea how they would calculate what he would need to pay? His income is just under £1600 per month, all from various benefits.
