In 1997 I was divorced and there was a Child Support Order implemented at that time. We were both living in Canada when we were divorced. This is now 2009 and he is in arrears of approximately 50,000.00 canadian. He was ordered to pay 750/month for child support in Canada. It is now in the courts in Arizona (where he lives). What is the law with respect to a Canadian Support Order in Canadian funds when trying to collect it from him while he resides in the US? Is he allowed to convert every month he has missed a payment and convert that to American funds? There is no longer an enforcement order in place as the kids have both turned 18. He is no longer liable for any more payments but still has arrears of 50,000.00 Canadian. Am I entitled to interest and if so how does one calculate that? Is it in American or Canadian funds? Help would be appreciated.
