To apply for child support what papers do they have to present if the children are born in Mexico?
February 15, 2024
A) Unfortunately, I cannot provide specific legal advice, and the process for applying for child support can vary depending on several factors, including:
- Your location: Are you currently in Mexico, the United States, or another country?
- The child’s location: Are the children currently in Mexico, the United States, or another country?
- Your citizenship and the other parent’s citizenship: Are you both Mexican citizens, US citizens, or citizens of different countries?
However, I can offer some general information and resources to help you get started:
If the children are born in Mexico:
- Mexico is a signatory to the Hague Convention on the International Recovery of Child Support and Other Forms of Family Maintenance. This means that if you are in a different country than the other parent, there may be a streamlined process for establishing and enforcing child support.
- You can find more information about the Hague Convention and how it applies to Mexico on the website of the Hague Conference on Private International Law: [invalid URL removed]
Regardless of where the children are born:
- It is always best to consult with an attorney who specializes in international child support cases. They can advise you on the specific steps you need to take in your situation.
- You can also find general information and resources on the following websites:
- The Administration for Children and Families (ACF): https://www.acf.hhs.gov/css/international

- The US Department of State: [invalid URL removed]
I hope this information is helpful. Please remember that this is not a substitute for legal advice, and you should always consult with an attorney for specific guidance.
