How is it that a Foreign Child Support Order be put in place upon a U.S. Citizen and support be upheld and changed at will by a Foreign Goverment? I have a child that was born in Germany from when I was stationed in Berlin (Army) in 1992-1993. A foreign child support order was put in place, before any DNA or Blood Testing for Paternity by the German Goverment based on the Mother's testomony only. The Mothers exhusband was named as the father on the Birth Certificate and later DNA testing proved that I was the father.
The Foreign Order was put in place before proof was established and a 11 yr. back Child Support with monthly Child Support was put in place. Later Germany changed from the Mark to the Euro in their Monitary System. The back owed Child Support was then increased to Euro's at an increase of over 18,000 U.S. Dollars added to the back owed Child Support at which the Child is now 18 yrs. old. The increase to Euro's should be for monthly Child Support, not the back owed child support; when the German Mark was in place.. The amount of Child Support has almost doubled and the term of the rearrage has been extended by a decade. How is this fair? That a U.S. Citizen be at the dictatorship of Foriegn Policy, there should be a happy medium at which both sides are treated fairly. The German Government has put Laws in Place that encourage Paternity Fraud and these cases can be reviewed, where the German Goverment upholds the unfair treatment to fathers both Foreign and Domestic. How can American Citizens be Protected ?
Many men, such as myself are trying to be Father's in these circumstances and are being mistreated by Foreign Support Orders without any Representation or Support by the U.S. Government. What about the Rights that are Promised to Americans and to myself? I live in America, I pay taxes in America, and I earn the U.S. Dollar by working in America !!! Yet, for some reason or another, no U.S. Laws apply to me in the County, State, and Country I live in when dealing with a Foreign Support Order. I have had no Court Hearing to the increase in support from Dollars to Euro's... None... The rearrage amount was agreed in a U.S. Court based upon a Foreign Support Order some years back. I have worked dilagently to pay my Monthly Support as well as pay down my rearrage.. My Rearrage was paid down from $32,000 to $21,000 U.S. and by a keystroke recently increased to over $38,000; more then when I first begun... Does that sound Fair to You?
* I have three Children that I support. How does one get more support than two combined? What about the other two children's future provisions provided by their Father ? These are simple question based facts... All I am seeking is Fairness, that is all.
Sincerely,
A Loss for Words
