Child support enforcement between italy and the state of Florida
Asked on Feb 08th, 2016 on Family Law - Florida
More details to this question:
Mother (custodial parent) and child of Italian and American citizenship living in Italy. Father (non-custodial parent) Italian living in Florida. Child support order issued in the State of Florida. Can child support enforcement of the existing court order be requested and granted in Italy? Thank you.

Since FL would recognize another county's child support order I would imagine Italy would do the same with a FL support order. You would need to check with an attorney in Italy. However, if the Father has no recent connections with Italy, you might have issues obtaining jurisdiction over the Father and might be better off proceeding in FL. Again, you would need to check with an attorney in Italy.
