what agency enforces court ordered child support in the philippines? both parents live in the philippines....

All I know is that you go to court and file a petition for support against a person who refuses to give support to his child or relative.

Hokey Smoke!

It is a matter of the court so never mind what agency - because you'll likely need a lawyer to handle the case for you anyway. Matters such as these would probably be rather tricky in the RP given all the corruption at every level.

Strange situation, however. If the parents are well off, I can't see them not taking care of their own child (could hire a maid to do it). If the parents aren't well off, what amount of support would matter?

Life..... Nobody gets out alive.

Who is paying his disability? You need to place a lien on those payments.

Go ahead and find out which bank which is processing his disability payments and place a lien on those accounts.

No, there is no such agency. You have to get a judgement from the court, locate any assets, get a writ of execution from the court to seize those assets, and find a sheriff to serve and execute the writ.

I have found the Filipino court system somewhat chaotic to say the least. You could spend years trying to get a judgment. :blink:

That's true! They like to drag their feet, knowing you can't afford to pay the legal fees, and wait for the last minute to pay, if they pay at all. Sometimes, they even try and shoot the sheriff when he shows up!

Sad to say, our Philippine laws include child support but is not strictly adhered to, unlike here in the USA. However, you can go back to court and file a motion for the enforcement of the judgment and this time include the bank where his disability is being deposited so the amount adjudged can be garnished . Make sure that the judgment has already become final and executory for it to be enforced.

Yes, the US government has no jurisdiction over him since he is in the Philippines.

Goodluck.
