What is the name of your state? New York

Good day,
could someone please answer the following question:

Is a single father who is a permanent resident with custody of a minor entitled to child support from the mother who lives outside of US? If so, how much?

Thanks in advance

Getting a CO for CS might be a good start.

The country she's in is another factor.

And whether she has income will impact your ability to collect, in thsoe countries that will enforce an order. Imputing income and using punitive measures that are effective here may not work wherever she is.

Like, for example, if she's in Saudi Arabia, I don't think taking away her driver's license would motivate her to pay.
