Child support from my ex-husband in Pakistan - how do I initiate proceeding?

Question

I had his wife-beating a** deported, then divorced him after 7 years of hell (he was in jail a lot of the time). I never pursued the issue for fear for my children's safety (remember "Not Without my Daughter"?). My children are 15 and 13, and are tops in school - my daughter would like to go to Yale - and I think it's time he paid up, if only for a little while. He is married now with his own kids, but I want him to contribute to his American childrens' futures. How do I start? Any avenues will be explored, thanks!

Answer 1

Good that you got ridden of his slimy a**.But 7 yrs?? Thats very patient. How ever, you have to understand that its not easy and worth (both time and money wise) to get him to a point where he start contributing towards his American children.

Do you know 6 yrs before, then PM of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif requested Men of Pakistan to eat only one meal? Thats the state of affairs in Pakistan. They get $$ from US in the name of Bin Laden and still do all crap. He will not do it because he must be already dead poor or even if he is from an aristocrat family he will find ways to slip away. There is no cookie cut procedure for this.

If you are sure that he is filthy rich in pakistan and is easily traceable, you might want to talk with some one in Department of State.

Answer 2

Wow if you depend on this guy for money having him exiled to pakistan = worst plan ever.

You have 2 problems; 1 unless he is part of an aristocratic family he is probably very poor right now. 2 Pakistan isn't exactly friendly to your situation. The muslim world has a very different view of women & I would highly doubt that the local government is going to do a thing for you.

Pretty much you won. He is in the third world. When you did that you decided to pay for your kids own college.

I hope for your kids sake you have a plan B.

Answer 3

you would first have to have a legi order then you would have to see if you could register it and enforce in pakistan. which i doubt.

Answer 4

Try the usual legal routes. Maybe your best bet would be to sign up for scholarships for your kids. It's never too late to start. It may be a lot of headaches; do you think it's worth the hassle?
