This work area covers securing ongoing financial support for a child when parents live in different countries, using UK and international mechanisms. A solicitor helps you apply for or respond to maintenance inquiries, collect income information, and liaise with the Child Maintenance Service and courts. They assist with enforcing orders across borders, addressing overseas income and assets, and navigating international treaties or conventions that affect how maintenance is calculated and paid.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The key issues are ensuring a timely, regular payment and protecting the child’s financial position across borders. A solicitor explains deadlines, helps secure enforceable arrangements, and coordinates with the appropriate authorities to prevent gaps in payment or disputes over income and cross‑border compliance.
