CONSENT ORDER

Hi Sheiladubai

Thank you for you post.

I''m William the child maintenance Options consultant. If you''re not eligible to apply to the Child Support Agency (CSA), you may wish to approach your local magistrates'' or family court to apply for a court order for maintenance. Once granted, court orders can be enforced under the Reciprocal Enforcement of Maintenance Orders (REMO) agreement.

REMO is the process that enables maintenance orders made by UK courts, on behalf of UK residents to be registered and enforced by courts in other countries and vice versa. This is an agreement set up via the British Government, with other countries, to enable citizens to receive maintenance from parents living abroad. Court staff may be able to help you and will forward the application to the relevant authority. The authority will check that the application is correct and send it to the foreign authority, or court, for registration.

Currently, the UK has conventions with more than 100 countries and territories worldwide. A full list is available on the Ministry of Justice Website, at www.justice.gov.uk/guidance/protecting-t...-solicitor/index.htm.

Some of the REMO arrangements other countries have with the UK don''t apply to Scotland. You will need to use a solicitor if you live in Scotland. If you live in Scotland you can find out more about REMO using the following link.

For further information about the REMO process you can contact the REMO Section of the Official Solicitor & Public Trustee either by phone (0845 345 5303) or via the Gov.uk website at www.gov.uk/child-maintenance-if-one-parent-lives-abroad.

I hope this helps.

William
