If he is in Viet Nam he wont be too hard to find as everywhere you live needs to registered with police.

Does he have any bank accounts or property in Germany?

Do you have a court order for him to pay child support?

im not sure if he has bank accounts in germany but i do have a child support order. the child support services in america are looking for him and i have a lawyer in germany that cant find him. according to both the germans and americans vietnam has to be a country that works together with the rest to be able to enforce the order but im not so sure that they are familiar with the vietnamese laws. could the american authorities contact the vietnamese authorities and request that they force him to pay?

btw, thank you so very much for responding. my kids and i have been living in extreme poverty due to my ex husbands refusal to pay child support. things have been tough.

To be honest, I doubt the Vietnamese govt will do anything about it. Child support is not high on the list of things that governments seek out people.

Sad he is not supporting his children, I paid child support for 18 years as required by my govt.
