What to do about back child support

So the children are living with the mother and he just visits although he legally has full custody of them???

Your story isn't adding up. What country to did she take the kids to?

It sounds like she didn't comply with the court order to return the children to the court's jurisdiction. Depending on the nation, under the Hague Convention, he should be able to initiate proceedings in that nation to enforce the custody order.

yes thank you. so technically does he still have to pay the back child support even after she kidnapped the kids?

the mother of the children made the children not say anything to the dad about leaving the country and going back to the mothers home country of chile. we were in the middle of court proceedings to hold her in contempt of court for not allowing visitation and then she disappeared. when my husband went to court, he immediately was granted full custody. now, if he wants to see his kids, he has to go to chile. in the meantime, she still gets the back child support even though technically she owes him for support since he has the full custody. now if you are a father and this happened to you, how do you think you would feel?

He still owes the money because at some point he wasn't paying. If the issue were current child support, I would agree with you but he owes the support from when the mother of the child legally had custody of the children.

Also, he is not owed the support from the mother of the children because he is does not have the children with him to support.

BTW, how did she get a passport for the children? Did he sign for it?

Tell your husband to check out this website and see if they can help.
