More details to this question:
This is the background of the situation: -My uncle's ex-wife filed for child support and is living in Canada. However, their two children live in the Philippines with the ex-wife's mother. -To my understanding, there are certain countries that you can file for child support due to foreign treaty from the U.S. Canada is one of the countries. -My uncle is already paying child support already from his paychecks and tax returns in Nevada. -After his children turn 18, he's responsible for $22,000 towards child support arrears. His passport is withheld because of it. Thank you for your consideration.

Frankly, the question does not make sense to me. A counterclaim against whom? While it might be possible to have support go to the person with custody, instead of to the ex who does not have the kids, I do not see what additional relief you are even requesting. If your uncle has a question, he should consider making an appointment with a family law specialist for a consultation.
