30/04/2008, 18:08 Steve Joined on 30/04/2008 Posts 1 FRENCH CLAIMS COURT FOR CHILD MAINTENANCE I live in the uk and pay uk taxes, I have a daughter who lives with here mother (mother french, father english never married) I have received a letter from a french court demanding pay slips tax returns etc for calculating child maintance. All in french, with a court date in July. Can a UK citzen be made to pay under European law for child support even though I have been making voluntary contributions since the child was born and left to live back in france (child has a french passport) with the child's mother? CSA in the UK are not interested with this case as they live in France, but there guidelines are followed. Can the french law dictate what I have to pay, and would it bepossible for the french/european courts demand through debt collectors / loss adjusters removing personal items to cover such arrears. Any help with this would be off great help. Many Thanks    Report
