Re: Modification Due to Broken Contract of Mediation
Although not Ohio, the state of Minnesota said yes and so did California. Again, we are talking about the best interest of the children. She can go back to her country and work until her visa application is processed. There is a reciprocal agreement with her own country. She's not been helping to support the children for a year now, not one dime (although she has over $1400 in ink done to her body in that same time period). I don't need the money the children do, and have one headed for college in a year.
I did side work for a year, and no questions asked was paid cash (I reported though). Again, I don't think anyone cares where it comes from as long as the children receive it. Correct?

Incorrect. If you want a court order for child support you have to be able to demonstrate that the parent is legally able to work in this country. You are also wrong that she can work as a contractor. She can own a business in this country from which she derives profits, but that is a bit different than being a contractor.
How does she have a valid SSN if she is not a legal resident of this country? Again though, even an SSN does not mean that she is legally authorized to work in this country. It just means that at some point in her life she had a valid reason to be issued an SSN.
Re: Modification Due to Broken Contract of Mediation
Minnesota Supreme court stated that even though illegal, a court can order child support and if there was no effort on the part of the illegal resident to gain residency, then child support can be ordered, particularly if illegal had any type of employment (even illegally) previously. Once again whether works in the US or outside the US it shouldn't make a difference. And there are millions of undocumented aliens who have to pay child support as ordered by the court.
She has a valid SSN due to previously being a temporary resident. Her chances of getting residency is 50/50 due to a felony and indecent exposure with a minor charge. I attempted to get her residency but the felony conviction prevented that. The judge already signed the decree that she must pay 50% of all activity and school fees.
I agree that you need to be able to demonstrate the ability to work, but does it matter in which country they are able to work? The children are American citizens and reside here. Does the court have jurisdiction to order support whether they work here or anywhere for that matter.
If order is not granted, she will never get her residency. Why should she?
