Our Houston international child support lawyers have the necessary experience to protect your parental rights in international divorce & support disputes.

Are you facing challenges with international child support? Our Houston international child support lawyers can help guide you through the complexities of your case. Contact Diggs & Sadler today at (713) 766-5355 or contact us online to get started!

How Texas Law Handles International Child Support and Custody Across Borders  

In international family law cases filed in Texas, custody and support arrangements are established under the Texas Family Code, which incorporates UIFSA and the Uniform International Family Support Act.
In the U.S., 49 of the 50 states, including Texas and most of the U.S. territories, have adopted the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA), and all 50 states have adopted the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA). These acts define how child custody and support issues operate across state lines and even internationally, allowing courts to establish or enforce a support arrangement across multiple states.

When a parent may live in a different state or country than the child but is still obligated to pay for support, courts often use the UIFSA to order and enforce the support order.

Our lawyers here in Texas can use the UIFSA to pursue unpaid child support from delinquent child support payors in Texas. If your child support payments are past due and the paying party is in another country, our lawyers may be able to direct you to an appropriate legal expert in that jurisdiction to help you collect the money you are owed.

Our Houston international child support attorneys can help you pursue the desired outcome in your support case. The Lawyer Network recognized us as the 2022 Matrimonial Law Firm of the Year for Texas.
