Reciprocity with Other Countries
Reciprocity with Other Countries
If your child’s non-custodial parent lives outside of the United States, you can also still work with the Westchester County Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) program to establish paternity and/or get a support order.
There are a total of eighteen (18) countries with which New York State has reciprocal agreements and with which the United States government, which we are bound by, has reciprocal agreements:
- Australia
- Austria
- Canada
- Czech Republic
- El Salvador
- Finland
- Germany
- Hungary
- Ireland
- Mexico
- Netherlands
- Norway
- Poland
- Portugal
- Slovak Republic
- Sweden
- Switzerland
- United Kingdom
Although cases involving a second country usually take longer to be resolved, help is available from OCSE programs in all of the countries listed above.
