In Oklahoma, child support issues are handled by the Oklahoma Child Support Services (OCSS) – a division of the Oklahoma Department of Human Services. Because of its belief that a child who receives financial support from both of his or her parents is more likely to succeed in life, OCSS utilizes U.S. cooperation with several other countries to enforce child support orders in the case of non-custodial parents living abroad.
Because – until recently – it has been difficult to apprehend a non-custodial parent who flees the country to avoid paying child support, many laws and partnerships are now in place to make cooperation with other governments about child support easier. The following countries have already established partnerships with the U.S. when it comes to child support:
