Asked on Dec 22nd, 2015 on Child Support - California
More details to this question:
My brother lives in Playa del carmen mexico has since 1984 he owes child support in los angeles county but paid all his child support in mexico. His wife put child support here in L.A. and Mexico since he lives there he paid her everything there. But wants to come here to visit but owes in los Angeles for same spouse. Isn't this double dipping and would he still have to pay his child support in Los Angeles?

There should only be one child support order, and it is unclear whether this is an issue of the mother seeking enforcement from two agencies or truly obtaining two contrary orders.  The US has jurisdiction over the child, so Mexico shouldn't have issued a competing child support order there.  All that said, I would suggest that he meet with an attorney and go over his paperwork in person. This forum isn't going to be able to give him the reassurance he needs.
