If he is in a foreign country not party to the Hague convention there is probably nothing you can do to collect support. The passport restriction I believe only applies if he has an American passport and once he reaches 2500.00 in arrears his passport will be restricted. You will probably get his tax returns if he files, if that is any consolation.

He does have an American passport and he is $4000.00 dollars in arrears.He has lived in Malaysia for the past 7 years.Canada doesn't enforce child support to that state and i need to figure out if i can go through his native country America to do anything.I have his passport number and social security number but not sure how the american law works for child support.He is from the state of Indiana orginally ,he will be inheriting his fathers estate as he is an only child.In Canada we can put leins on any thing he may inherit of win in the future.Can this be done in the U.S.A as well or not if so how would i do this.
