Question The father of my friend’s new had born daughter moves back to Belgium shortly before she was born. He is deal US/Belgium national and became a legal resident in Belgium. The child was conceived in the US and was living in the US at the time. According to CSA I can’t get child support from him because there is no child support agreement with Belgium and he is out of reach of a US subpoena. The father insists on seeing his daughter in the US, while remaining a legal Belgium residence, with out paying child support, but does not object that the mother supervises the visitation. Can he get a court and get court ordered visitation in the US with out paying child support Yes or No. he also wants to talk to her on the phone on a wealky basis in a few years. The father is deliberately circumventing US law requiring child support by becoming a legal Belgium residence before the child is born and will live there for 18 or more years. Paternity is not legally established.
